The webinar is for people who are caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. It will create an understanding of how using the person’s social history and life story can help create a rich and rewarding quality of life that focuses on what is still preserved and what can be maintained despite the diagnosis.
Participants will learn the questions to ask when diving into someone’s life story. Those questions go far beyond what he or she did for a living and where they used to live. These questions are then coupled with details about their daily routine. Scott will then discuss how to take all of the information and create meaningful activities to improve the quality of life for the person living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
