Creating Dementia Friendly Health Care Organizations – CARE Connections

How can health care organizations better care for and support people living with dementia?

Read what family care partners and renowned dementia care educator Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA suggest in the November issue of CARE Connections, the monthly newsletter of the SoN’s Center for Aging Research and Education. Here’s an excerpt:

“When it comes to dementia, [person-centered care] is essential. It’s what every one of us would want. So what we’ve got to do is figure out how to take that and make it practical for organizations,” says Snow. “Families can’t do this alone.”

This month’s CARE Connections also includes opportunities to take part in the CARE U train-the-trainer for health educators and CARE U workshop for direct care staff; a profile of CARE Affiliate Carey Gleason, PhD, MS; and news and events related to older adult health and well-being.
