Person-centered dementia care means we see people with dementia as more than their dementia and for who they are as human beings. This includes how we see their “behaviors” and how we choose to respond to them.

Join us in our next webinar, where we will unlearn the idea of “behavior management” of people living with dementia and relearn different ways to understand behaviors. Then we can put into practice person-centered values that will help you and the people living with dementia you support.
