Dementia-related behaviors can be strenuous on
the individual, care team, family and friends. Expanding our knowledge of
person-centered approaches ensures that not-for-profit aging services providers
continue to be on the forefront of care management, remain in compliance with
the latest regulations and most importantly, keep the individual at the heart
of everything we do.
