A new online learning series

Under these challenging times, it was important to us to provide basic information to anyone who would be in a position to provide support and care for the first time to a person living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, as well as to those who wish to deepen their knowledge. This new learning series does not however replace the education program. We encourage you to get in touch with your local Alzheimer Society who will be able to assist you with further coaching and mentorship.

Beyond the support and intervention that healthcare professionals provide in long-term care it's also important to rethink the work organisation as well as the living environment for better care to people with dementia.
