Session 1: Tube Feeding

Session 1: Tube Feeding

In the first video of the ACTPlan series, we introduce the concept of dementia, explaining its stages, symptoms, and impact on daily life. This session provides African American caregivers with crucial information about tube feeding as a treatment option, weighing the pros, such as meeting nutritional needs and potentially prolonging life, against the cons, including risks of infection, discomfort, and ethical considerations. This comprehensive overview equips caregivers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about the best care practices for their loved ones with dementia.
