Dementia in the Incarcerated Population: An Overview of Present and Future Treatment and Management

[ Y CE|CE|CME|CERP|CEU] Primary Community of Focus: Adult Corrections Room: 107

Overview: Our purpose is to inform about the growing elderly population in correctional custody. A significant portion of this elderly incarcerated population has some form of cognitive impairment, most commonly dementia. We will demonstrate statistics that show the size of this population in the past, compared to today, and forecast what the size of this population will likely be in the future. Then, we will discuss how dementia is diagnosed. Next, we will discuss treatment options available. Lastly, we will discuss eight practices that can be implemented to provide better care for this inmate population. Learning Objectives: • Identify inmates with dementia. • Know the treatment options available for patients with dementia. • Identify 8 practices that are currently being implemented to support better care for prisoners with dementia.
