Emergency departments can be disorienting and overstimulating for people living with dementia. But new programs in Ontario are changing that, making emergency departments safer, calmer, and more supportive for people living with dementia.
In this free Speaker Series webinar, you’ll hear from Dr. Aaron Jones, who will explore how hospitals, through programs like Geriatric Emergency Management (GEM), are transforming how they provide dementia care. Discover what’s already working, what’s next, and how research is shaping the future of emergency department care.
