-
Analyze key challenges encountered in designing and delivering a dementia training program, particularly in challenging learning environments such as those created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
-
Discuss the impact of a dementia training program on building management staff’s knowledge of dementia, preparedness to communicate effectively with dementia residents, confidence and ability to link residents to appropriate services.
-
Understand the development of the Chicago model for providing dementia training to building managers.
-
Discuss the multilayered outreach techniques used to support apartment managers.
This webinar will be held on Thursday, April 21, 2022 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. ET.
