Join us for this interactive workshop, facilitated by Teepa Snow, a nationally recognized dementia care expert, which is designed to help families and health care professionals engage a person living with dementia in successful mobility and meaningful activity programs, while honoring the person’s dignity, unique needs and personal preferences. You will learn how to enhance physical mobility and reduce the risk of falls by using a variety of effective techniques based on the level of dementia, environmental support, and caregiver support. You will also learn how to develop meaningful daily activities that are appropriate and effective for various levels of dementia, and that promote social interaction and engagement while reducing distress and isolation.
