Responding to Challenging Behaviors in Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias

Handle dementia care with confidence. This interactive program will help families and caregivers recognize common dementia-related behaviors, respond with greater confidence and compassion, and develop practical strategies that support safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Participants will also experience the Virtual Dementia Tour®, a powerful simulation that offers a glimpse into the physical, sensory, and cognitive challenges of living with dementia. Through greater understanding, caregivers can create more supportive interactions and a more dementia-friendly home environment.
