SUMMARY:Bridging Healthcare and Social Services for People Living with Dementia and their Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:As the number of people living with dementia (PLWD) continues to increase\, addressing their needs—and those of their caregivers—has become more important. Coordination of comprehensive care and support services across community-based organizations and healthcare systems is necessary to achieve better health outcomes which allow for both people living with dementia and their caregivers to remain in their homes and communities. \nIn this webinar\, panelists will discuss how their organizations integrate healthcare and social services to better support people living with dementia and their caregivers. They will highlight successful program elements\, share challenges faced in implementation and expansion\, and offer recommendations for healthcare systems and community-based organizations working to bridge gaps between medical health care and social services. \nThis webinar is hosted by the National Alzheimer’s Disease Resource Center.

SUMMARY:Dementia\, Restraints\, and the Regs
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare Association of Hawaii is hosting this webinar. Providing care to those living with dementia in nursing facility settings can be complex and rewarding. Having an understanding of various approaches to deal with challenging behaviors is important and impactful to the resident’s quality of life. \nBest practice standards indicate that dementia behaviors should be managed without the use of physical or chemical restraints; however\, when they are deemed necessary staff members must have knowledge of current CMS regulations and documentation requirements. The interdisciplinary team must make efforts to reduce psychotropic drug use as appropriate and provide compassionate and person-centered care in compliance with regulatory standards. \nJoin us as we examine strategies to manage challenging behaviors from those living with dementia and discuss physical and chemical restraints\, documentation standards\, interdisciplinary approaches\, and maintaining quality of life in accordance with regulatory compliance. \n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Define and describe consequences of physical and chemical restraints\n2. Identify strategies to mitigate physical restraint use\n3. Describe CMS regulatory requirements related to psychotropic drug use\n4. Explore how to apply practice strategies to facilitate the reduction of psychotropic drug use \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget Audience\n\n\n\n\n\nInterdisciplinary team members working in post-acute and long-term care settings \n\n\nSpeaker: Aida Wen\, MD\, CMD\, Geriatrician and Associate Professor\, University of Hawaii at Manoa\, John A. Burns School of Medicine

SUMMARY:Dementia-Specific Respite Care: Innovative Programs and Sustainable Pathways
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Dementia Respite Innovation (CDRI) is funded by the Administration for Community Living\, and administered by the Alzheimer’s Association\, to pilot innovative dementia-specific respite programs. The programs are designed to expand access to high-quality\, person-centered respite care for people living with dementia and their caregivers. CDRI awards grants to support home and community-based service programs that advance innovation\, accessibility\, and sustainability in respite services. This webinar will provide a brief overview of CDRI’s funding approach\, program structure\, and impact to date\, followed by presentations from two funded providers highlighting their respite models. \nThe Care Collective in Boise\, Idaho\, will discuss their CDRI funded program which is leveraging a volunteer driven\, community-based approach to delivering group respite in a faith-based setting. Participants benefit from live music\, movement and creative activities\, as well as intergenerational visits. The University of Central Arkansas will discuss their Interprofessional Therapeutic Activity Program (I-TAP)\, which delivers programming through structured activity sessions focused on physical activity\, cognitive stimulation\, and social engagement. By integrating physical therapy\, occupational therapy\, nursing\, and exercise science students into these dementia specific sessions\, I-TAP pairs person centered respite for families with essential\, supervised clinical training for students.
