Participants who join this webinar will be able to:
- Discuss the challenges that residents living with dementia experience throughout the day
- Review The Dementia Connection Model and understand how to utilize this framework to create ‘The Perfect Day’
- Outline the key sensory stimulation tools that can be used and paint the picture of ‘The Perfect Day’
