Dementia is one of the leading disease states for our elderly population.

Caregivers can also benefit with a greater understanding of how to communicate with those dealing with Dementia. There truly are ways to more effectively understand, communicate, and interact with those living with the disease. This 6 hour workshop will cover all of these areas and equip attendees with a greater understanding of the disease and give them the practical tools to more effectively care for those with Dementia.
