Addressing Relocation Stress in Dementia Care
Course Description
Easing the transition from home to a long-term care community remains a challenge for many organizations. For most, the move is a last resort. A diagnosis of dementia heightens the individual’s emotions and increases the risks of untoward events, such as falls, altercations and elopements. This session offers an overview of the revised Federal regulations for admission, transfer and discharge and guidance in policy development. Insight into understanding and addressing relocation stress for people impacted by dementia is a focus of this conversation.
