SUMMARY:Meeting Communities Where They Are: Innovative Approaches to Dementia Supports and Services
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the unique support and service needs of communities is central to effective home- and community-based dementia care. While many dementia-specific interventions are grounded in research and best practices\, they often require thoughtful adaptation to effectively reach underserved populations. Supports and services for people living with dementia\, their caregivers\, and their communities are most impactful when tailored to reflect cultural values\, language\, and lived experiences. \nThis webinar will feature two specialized\, community-based dementia programs\, each focused on an underserved population—African American and Korean American communities. Both programs have adapted their approaches to reduce barriers to service acceptance\, increase engagement\, and address unmet needs. Together\, they will demonstrate strategies for delivering strengths-based\, dementia-specific services and supports while navigating and overcoming challenges. \nDirect questions to NADRC-Webinars@rti.org \nPlease note:\nNADRC webinars are free and open to the public.\nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/.\nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings.

SUMMARY:Addressing Food Insecurity for People Living Alone with Dementia
DESCRIPTION:National data indicate that nearly one quarter of older Americans living alone have dementia. This population faces numerous challenges\, including food insecurity\, which is often worsened by cognitive impairment\, limited social support\, and physical isolation. Traditional senior meal delivery programs are not always designed to address the unique needs of individuals with cognitive impairment\, who may have difficulty safely storing\, preparing\, or cooking meals. \nThis webinar will provide insight into an innovative\, volunteer-based food delivery model created to better support seniors living alone with dementia. Participants will learn about common barriers to food-based services experienced by individuals living alone with dementia\, the key components of an effective food delivery service model for people living alone with dementia\, and program evaluation best practices for measuring the impact of services for this population.

SUMMARY:Living Longer: The Increasing Need for Dementia Care and Support for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
DESCRIPTION:Advances in medicine\, technology\, and community living are extending the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). As a result\, individuals with IDD are now at greater risk of developing dementia. Dementia can present differently in people with IDD\, and supporting individuals with both conditions often requires specialized knowledge and skills from healthcare professionals and aging and disability service providers. \nThis webinar will provide participants with an overview of IDD and dementia including prevalence\, signs and symptoms\, and assessing if a person with IDD may be developing dementia. Participants will also learn practical considerations for supporting people with IDD and dementia with an emphasis on enhancing workforce training. The webinar will also include insights into the National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center newly released resource\, Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Dementia: Practical Strategies for Professionals. \nDirect questions to NADRC-Webinars@rti.org \nPlease note: NADRC webinars are free and open to the public. \nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/. \nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings.

SUMMARY:Lewy Body Dementia: Navigating Diagnosis\, Care Strategies\, and Essential Support
DESCRIPTION:Lewy body dementias (LBD) are the second most common form of degenerative dementia and affect approximately 1.4 million people in the United States. This webinar will cover key aspects of LBD\, including symptoms\, diagnosis\, and care considerations\, while highlighting the real-life experiences of a former care partner who navigated the complexities of LBD within her own family. Participants will gain valuable perspectives on the challenges faced by individuals living with LBD and their caregivers and will explore practical strategies for providing compassionate\, informed support. \nClick the ONLINE button to register for this Zoom Webinar.

SUMMARY:Expanding the Reach of Dementia Programs: Making a Plan and Pivoting as You Learn Through Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Even with the most thoughtful program planning\, sometimes plans don’t work as expected when you get to real-world implementation. Reaching and engaging people for dementia programs may require a willingness to adjust course and engage unanticipated partners and participants as you learn through practice. This presentation will showcase the work of two dementia programs that made significant adaptations to their original outreach\, recruitment\, and partnership plans to support the uptake of their community dementia programs. \nOCCK Inc. is implementing the Care Ecosystem care navigator program in rural Kansas. This presentation will focus on adaptations OCCK Inc. made to their partnerships and recruitment techniques when their original plan did not yield desired enrollment levels. OCCK Inc. found and engaged new partners\, members of the faith community (nuns) and independent pharmacists\, committed to serving people living with dementia and caregivers. They adjusted course by training their new partners in the Care Ecosystem model in their effort to expand their program reach and participant engagement. \nAging & In Home Services in Indiana is implementing the Hospital 2 Home care transitions program. Their presentation will include information on their chosen program\, as well as how the team pivoted their implementation plans to infuse new outreach techniques. They will provide insight into the various methods undertaken to engage new health care providers using success stories and training opportunities resulting in increased program participation. \nDirect questions to NADRC-Webinars@rti.org \nPlease note: NADRC webinars are free and open to the public. \nNADRC webinars are recorded and will be posted at https://nadrc.acl.gov/. \nClosed captioning is available during the webinar and included in all recordings.
