@ Doctor Tim

Iris L.

Welcome.  I see that you are a doctor for your local Conservator's Office.  I am wondering what type of new information you are seeking?  I was a doctor in my working years, in pediatrics.  I knew next to nothing about dementia.  I have since learned a lot.

Hello, in case you missed my Post on the other Thread, I am Posting my queries again so I understand better as I am not fully understanding:

Hello Dr. Tim; I am a bit confused by your Profile. I noticed that you list yourself in your Profile as a, "Professional Caregiver, " and also list other professional information. To clarify:

What specific field is your doctorate in?  Is your professionl life limited to being assigned as a legal conservator?

How long have you been a conservator?

How do you diagnose dementia in a person - what testing is done to confirm the diagnosis and then specifically diagnosing which specific type of dementia is present in a person as there are so many different types and adequate treatment relies upon the specifics . . .

 Do you or have you done any hands-on caregiving of any individuals?

It would be nice to have a clearer picture.

Thank you.
