The American Society on Aging is holding a webinar on a program highlighting a collaborative community-academic partnership between the City of Chicago Age-Friendly Commission/DFSS and University of Illinois Chicago. They created a Dementia Training Program for building management staff to address the problem of the changing health status of older adults living independently in high-rise buildings throughout Chicago. The data demonstrate the participants consider the dementia training webinar to be beneficial, with 94.5% of participants (n = 85) rating the program Excellent-Good, 98% of participants found it useful and 92% were confident in their ability to refer residents to needed city services.
