Summary

Join us for an in-depth session on dementia care, where we merge evidence-based insights with practical, real-world strategies. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to dementia care, you'll gain valuable skills to assess and enhance the impact of ancillary services and interventions for residents with cognitive impairments. Learn how to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to create personalized, compassionate care plans that address the complex needs of dementia patients. Walk away equipped with the tools and knowledge to elevate care standards and achieve better outcomes through teamwork and tailored interventions.

In long-term care, ancillary services are often the unsung heroes—overlooked and undervalued. This session sheds light on the vital role that specialists like dentists, podiatrists, audiologists, and optometrists can play in supporting residents with dementia. By fostering collaboration across disciplines, we can create a more comprehensive and effective care approach that addresses the often-missed needs of these residents. It’s time to recognize how these experts can enhance quality of life and care for individuals with dementia, ensuring no aspect of their well-being is neglected. Bringing Hidden Heroes into Dementia Care.
