Webinar #2 – Obtaining Quality Care for Residents with Dementia

Recording is now available in our online store.

When the needs of residents living with dementia are met, incidences of resident stress are significantly reduced. Practicing person-centered approaches and interventions increase the likelihood that the message being communicated by the resident will actually be heard and addressed, leading to better outcomes and more satisfaction for the resident. This webinar presents successful person-centered strategies that lead to quality care for residents with dementia.

Presenter: Jonathan Evans, MD
