Panel One: Going Beyond the Task to Person-Centered Relationships Moderators: Anna Ortigara, R.N., M.S., F.A.A.N. Panelists: Rebecca Erdos Charlene Fay, R.N. Sheryl Zimmerman, Ph.D. To create a culture of person-centered care and relationships it is necessary to get beyond the task and the traditional, hierarchical care systems to seeing and valuing the person living with dementia, the care partner and family members. This session will review the evidence around work and care practices that support quality dementia care, featuring a panel that will explore experiences of families and care staff as they enter into deep, knowing relationships with people living with dementia. It will also delve into the outcomes of innovative workforce models that support person-centered relationships. Panel Two: Non-Pharmacological Treatments Moderator: Panelists: Mary Mittelman, Ph.D. Nina Silverstein, Ph.D. John Zeisel, Ph.D. Joan Uronis The evidence base for non-pharmacological treatments, programs, approaches and practices has kept pace with pharmacological treatments, but health and social service professionals are less aware of non-pharmacological evidence as it awaits translation to community practice. This panel will begin with remarks from an Alzheimer’s Association Early -Stage Advisor and her care partner on diagnosis, care and their life now. Then, attendees will receive a summary of findings from the New York University caregiver intervention randomized control trial. The session will also discuss the pathway from driver to passenger and supportive, dementia-friendly transportation alternatives to enhance community mobility for persons with dementia. Lastly, the session will take a futuristic look at living with dementia in the context of a residential care setting, highlighting innovative person-centered arts and enrichment activities focused on quality of life in a community setting. |
