The Wright Center for Community Health’s Geriatrics Service Line will host its second annual Aging and Dementia-Friendly Symposium offering education and awareness to help community members recognize aging- and dementia-related issues early and take appropriate action.
The free symposium is for medical professionals, clinical learners, long-term care providers, social service organizations, patients, and family members.
Bryan Stevenson, a trainer with the Center for Applied Research in Dementia, will present “Montessori Methods of Dementia Care,” highlighting evidence-based, non-pharmacological approaches to patient-centered care. The presentation will explore rehabilitation and educational techniques designed to engage individuals living with dementia and support their independence.
The program will also include presentations by the Department of Aging on the PA CareKit, a representative of a national caregiver support program called Carellel, and remarks from a local caregiver. AmeriHealth Caritas Pennsylvania will also host an information table.
