The GEMS®: Using Skills That Make a Difference

The GEMS®: Using Skills That Make a Difference

Wednesday, October 4, 2023 @ 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM

This is an in-person class in our Wasilla office.

There will be an online webinar version of this class available statewide on October 3—attend the one that best fits your schedule.

The GEMS®, developed by acclaimed dementia educator Teepa Snow, is a dementia model that focuses on an individual’s uniqueness and capabilities rather than memory loss. The GEMS® model recognizes the dynamic nature of the human brain and its abilities.

Join us to discover how to use this knowledge to improve everyday living, care tasks, and communications. People, like gemstones, are precious and unique—with the right care and setting, they can shine.

Free to attend! No registration required.
