Join LeadingAge Iowa for a 4-part series on Feb. 4, 11, 18, 25 that covers tools to optimize quality dementia care. This series of webinars, presented by Kathleen Weissberg from Select Rehabilitation, is a comprehensive look at quality dementia care opportunities. The series begins with an overview of evidence-based interventions to address common “problematic” dementia behaviors. Developing and fostering a person-centered Montessori-based approach for aging and dementia will be explored next.

In response to requests for more resources related to dementia and COVID-19, I gathered (virtually) a group of providers and collaborators to garner their insight.
