Enrichment Sessions

Alzheimer's Tennessee is excited to offer a diverse collection of videos designed to inform and inspire caregivers, family members, those living with a diagnosis... and just about everyone. 

This highlighted video is the second in a series addressing legal issues facing those living with dementia and their caregivers. Elder Law Attorney Glen Kyle of Franklin & Kyle Elder Law discusses "capacity," or who can sign documents.

Over the next few weeks, Glenn takes us through topics ranging from Power of Attorney to planning for a caregiver's possible illness. Last week's discussion was on the impact of COVID-19 on basic estate planning.
