LeadingAge recently posted a new session called “Living Well With Dementia” on their Learning Hub. This Deep Dive explores different frameworks for supporting people living with the symptoms of dementia—and shifts the common narrative from disease to disability and paternalism to empowerment.
- Explore the overlapping lenses of anti-ageism, anti-ableism, person-centeredness and potential, growth as well as resilience.
- Gain an understanding of compensatory strategies developed and used by and for people living with dementia.
- Examine how the paradigm shift from dementia as a disease to dementia as a disability can dramatically change the way we think about meeting the needs of people living with dementia.
