Presented November 5, 2020

Anyone living with and/or caring for a person with dementia needs an understanding of the disease process and how it impacts the person in order to assist, care for, and/or provide a positive environment sensitive to that person’s specific needs. Having a toolbox of knowledge, tips and techniques enables everyone living with dementia (family / caregivers / individuals themselves) have more positive outcomes along the dementia journey.
