Top-Bewertungen von Living with Dementia: Impact on Individuals, Caregivers, Communities and Societies
A multidimensional look at community support for dementia. With the growing number in dementia, families and communities need to be more focused on including the person with dementia. Good learning.
I felt this course expanded the information I already understand regarding dementia care. I have already implemented several things learned from this course in the memory care unit I lead in a SNF.
