Description

It is estimated that more than 50 million people worldwide are living with dementia, and this number is expected to increase rapidly to 131 million by 2050. As aging services professionals, it is important to implement evidence-based strategies to enhance the quality of life of individuals under our care and provide training and resources to provide the best care possible. 

One of these strategies is person-centered dementia care. This approach places individuals with dementia and their caregivers at the center of care delivery and provides a holistic and integrative approach to maintaining well-being and quality of life for people with dementia.
