Activity-Based Alzheimer’s Care: Building a Therapeutic Program is for activity professionals working with individuals with dementia in all care settings. Activity-based Alzheimer care suggests that activities are the foundation of care. Attendees will learn the fundamental components of care, to effectively examine assessment and care planning, to adapt activities and environment to better meet individual needs, to identify program design options and method of implementation and a variety of ways to evaluate new and current programs.
