Articles on Best Practice Caregiving: New Web Tool Improves Help for Family Caregivers and Dementia
The Best Practice Caregiving database is featured in articles, including The Patriot Ledger, "New Web Tool Improves Help for Family Caregivers and Dementia."
With about 16 million people in this country caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and other conditions that cause dementia, "There is an increasing demand for support, information and training programs for dealing with dementia,” said David M. Bass, PhD, Senior Vice President at Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging. The blog talks about a new tool for organizations to easily compare and select evidence-based programs for dementia caregiving, Best Practice Caregiving.
“By providing this tool to the local organizations that directly serve family and friend caregivers and people living with dementia, we hope to expand the availability of proven best practices to many more families across the country,” notes Terry Fulmer, PhD, RN, FAAN, President, The John A. Hartford Foundation, one of the project’s funders.
