Ask most long-term care professionals to describe Wernicke-Korsakoff, and your answers might be very interesting! This dementia-related disease gets its name from two conditions that happen together – Wernicke encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, and many doctors think of them as different stages of the same disease. In this, session we will review what causes this disease, its symptoms, and important things long-term care communities need to know about caring for individuals living with it.

Objectives:

• Review symptoms of Wernicke-Korsakoff Dementia and how it is diagnosed
• Identify the risk factors that make a person more likely to get WKD 
• Understand the treatment options for Wernicke-Korsakoff Dementia, as well as possible complications when providing care for individuals in long-term care settings
