For Professionals and Dementia Care Workers
Having the foundation and staying current on what is happening in the field of dementia care is imperative to both a person’s quality of life as well as the quality of your experiences working with them. As service providers, we can inadvertently be the trigger that elicits a negative response, gaining tools and training can make us more effective and efficient when working with an individual with dementia or their family.
