Cognitive Neurology Seminars for Families

Mayo Clinic Rochester Department of Neurology offers comprehensive educational seminars for Mayo Clinic patients and their families recently impacted by a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), Primary Progressive Aphasia, Corticobasal Degeneration, and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

The program provides families with information on disease symptoms and treatment, managing ongoing care, medical considerations and medication adjustments, psychosocial impact of caregiving and understanding resources. Participants receive information in a supportive setting with other families dealing with a similar diagnosis.

Each seminar begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m. Persons diagnosed with the disease are welcome to attend, however, much of the content is designed for families and care partners. In addition, please take into consideration the length of the day (6 hours) when deciding those best suited to attend. As space permits, non-Mayo clinic patients, families, and care professionals may also register.
