Courte Director: Ketta Sedler Duties and Responsibilities: It is a great experience to learn about Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia. This internship can be ongoing because the interns are responsible to interview the residents of Garden Courte in obtaining background information about their family, hobbies, favorite foods, former occupation, etc. The information is then written into a mini-biography of each resident, which will be placed in the bio-box outside each resident’s door. The purpose of these mini-biographies is to inform caregivers about the personalities of each resident. The practice of interviewing will sharpen your memory skills as well as your interviewing skills. Families who are dealing with a loved one who has either Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease have grief and guilt issues. As the interviewer, the intern doubles as a counselor. Another possibility is to design your own goals of learning about the Alzheimer’s and Dementia population. Behavioral
