The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, invites interested individuals to a 3-day virtual workshop on Aging in Place with Dementia to discuss the state of knowledge and identify conceptual approaches to guide research on aging in place for people living with dementia in the United States. The sessions will emphasize community and neighborhood level factors that enable aging in place.  

The workshop will take place over three consecutive afternoons from September 13th – 15th, 11:30 AM– 3:00 PM CT (3:15 PM on the first day). The workshop is free but you must register in advance.

LeadingAge members considering submitting a letter of intent to participate in the upcoming CMMI dementia demonstration might find some items of interest to consider (though there is no relationship between the demonstration and the workshop).
