Elevate your care for dementia patients. Enroll in our "Dementia Patient and Caregiver Needs Training" to learn how to support caregivers and provide top-notch care. Together, let's enhance the lives of those with dementia. #DementiaCare #HealthcareTraining #SupportCaregivers

Studies have shown that targeted dementia training for caregivers can improve care quality, reducing hospitalisations and improving client satisfaction. Early intervention can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with dementia. By addressing cognitive and behavioural symptoms early, homecare providers can help clients maintain independence for longer and engage in meaningful activities. Emphasising early detection and proactive management can lead to better outcomes and a higher standard of care for individuals living with dementia. (DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK 2024)

💻 Webinar 'How to Support and Empower Caregivers of People Living with Dementia' on Thursday, November 14 🔗 https://ow.ly/rb2L50TBzZS Caregivers are the backbone of the US health care system, particularly for people living with serious illness such as Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias. While palliative care goes a long way in supporting these patients, there continue to be more opportunities to optimize how we support caregivers. These range from better integrating caregivers into goals of care conversations and facilitating practical training to prepare for the physical and mental aspects of caregiving in the home, to connecting them with meaningful resources in their communities. In this webinar, CAPC’s Andy Esch, MD, MBA, is joined by leaders from the Alzheimer’s Association and Hospice of the Valley’s Dementia Care and Education Campus to discuss this and more. Together they will share strategies for how to better support caregivers, including addressing some of the structural limitations that can hinder this work. Participants will leave with tools to implement targeted changes that can greatly improve the outcomes of caregivers and patients alike.

Globally, clinicians are both under-educated on #dementia, and under-resourced to provide adequate post-diagnosis care for people living with dementia. Medical school and other training for clinicians focuses on the medical interventions of an illness rather than psychosocial challenges for patients and their families. 🚨 For people #LIVINGwithDementia and their caregivers, this just doesn’t cut it. 🚨 Care teams must become dementia care specialists and be skilled in the critical areas that help people navigate the day to day. This is why we built the Rippl Academy - exclusively for our care teams. At the Rippl Academy, our focus for training is on the medical complexity of dementia but also behavioral health issues, social determinants of health, stigma of dementia, challenges of family dynamics, relationship building and more. That can take the form of our first-of-its-kind exclusive dementia training program developed with McLean Hospital or health equity training from Violet or a clinic on motivational interviewing. It all works together as we endeavor to set the gold standard of building a skilled, dementia-capable workforce. It’s all about delivering the right care by the right people at the right place and we’re committed to getting seniors the care they deserve. #donewaiting #createarippl #ripplchangemakers More information about the global lack of dementia care here: https://lnkd.in/e8vk9wkE  More about the Rippl Academy here: https://lnkd.in/e3DvNTzp
