This week: Dementia-related behaviors, opioid crisis, food labels

Behaviors can be a form of communication for people who have dementia. This week, licensed medical social worker Whitney Hadley suggests steps that caregivers can take when their loved ones exhibit anxiety, confusion, repetition, aggression or wandering.

Hadley is associate program director at the Alzheimer's Association of CNY.

Also this week: the opioid crisis, and how to read nutrition labels.

Tune in this Sunday, April 16 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on WRVO.
