Family Involvement in Dementia Care helps family members like you work together with healthcare providers in order to provide the best possible care for your loved one with dementia. Videos, family interviews, hand-outs and break-out discussions teach you how to work as partners with staff in both community and long-term care settings.

The ten-part series covers topics such as communicating with staff, negotiating on behalf of your loved one, asking difficult questions, managing medications, and more. These are designed to help you more comfortably present the needs and preferences of your loved ones by focusing on knowing and respecting THEM.
