Event Details

Understanding where your resident is in with their dementia and understanding what they are able to process, and who they are is helpful information when transiting to the hospital. The importance of the family to advocate and let the health care team at the hospital understand who their patient really is will help decrease the resident's anxiety and behaviors. Less psychotropics are used when the Healthcare team can work with the resident as a person and not as a patient.


1.0 CE Credit will be available to Illinois nurses, social workers, professional counselors and nursing home administrators.
