This five module course is designed to enhance your knowledge and abilities as you assess and care for older adults with delirium, dementia and/or depression (the “3Ds”).Each module will take you through the most up-to-date evidence on the 3Ds and finish with a case study and quiz helping you apply what you’ve learned. At the end of each module, you’ll find downloadable PDFs, self reflections/discussion guides and other resources that will enhance your learning.After completing all the modules in this course you will be able to:
- Differentiate between delirium, dementia and depression (3Ds)
- Identify how the three conditions overlap and are interrelated
- Take a person and family-centred care approach to caring for older adults with the 3Ds
- Explore a range of interventions uniquely suited to each individual’s condition, preferences, needs and abilities
- Identify ways to support a person's health, safety and quality of life when they have one or more of the 3Ds
