Finding Comfort: Living with Advanced Dementia in Residential Care
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of our groundbreaking work in palliative care, helping to transform the way care is provided to persons living with advanced dementia in residential care. Our experience has taught us that for the person with even the most advanced dementia, comfort matters and is possible.
Taking the lessons we have learned over the past decade, and to coincide with the publication of our latest guide for family and friends, Finding Comfort: Living with Advanced Dementia in Residential Care, on which this program is based, you will hear from leading experts on how to navigate and achieve the path to comfort.
The Finding Comfort Guide will be available at the event.
Please note: masks, vaccine proof, and ID are required for onsite attendance.
We wish to extend deepest gratitude to The Halis/Scolnic Family for their extraordinary support of our caregiver programs and services.
