Speaking & Workshops
In the dementia care practice, we often hear from front-line healthcare professionals, “If only the family would get on board.”
Simultaneously, we hear from families, “No one knows my loved one better than me. The professionals need to listen to me.”
And from healthcare leaders, we hear, “I could sleep better at night if I knew our patients and employees were safe and equipped for dementia care—while meeting our state educational requirements.”
