Let's Talk Family Councils: Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) affect about half of long-term care residents. This is a challenge not only for those living in nursing homes, but also their families and care partners. On the October Family Empowerment Program, Erica Salamida (Alzheimer's Association) leads a discussion on educating staff and families about improving Alzheimer’s and dementia care in nursing homes and other long-term care settings.
