- **Event Name**: Dementia is More Than Memory Loss: A Compassionate Approach to Dementia Care
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 10 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Tue, 10 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Many people assume that dementia and Alzheimer's disease are the same thing. This program will help attendees become aware of the differences, gain knowledge about dementia and how it affects the brain, and teach basic skills to enhance communication with people living with dementia. This talk will describe a compassionate and person-centered approach to dementia which treats each person as an individual, respecting their feelings, history, and preferences. It focuses on understanding behavior as communication – connecting with empathy, and supporting independence to help people feel safe, valued, and respected.

Presenter: Jane Unzetig, RN, BSN  is a seasoned Registered Nurse who has both personal and professional experience with dementia. She writes, “my mother lived with brain change long before our family recognized the symptoms. We did the best we could with our limited knowledge. Could we have handled things better? For Sure! I have dedicated my life to helping others learn about dementia, so they don’t make the same mistakes we made.”  Jane is a Certified Independent Approach to Care Coach, specializing in guiding caregivers, families, and care teams in person‑centered dementia care. PAC Certified Independent Coaches teach practical strategies to improve communication, reduce stress, and support dignity and independence for people living with cognitive changes. Jane is passionate about changing the culture of dementia care in America to a more informed and compassionate approach.
