NADRC Fall Webinar Series: Focus on COVID-19 & Dementia
The National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) is holding a three-part webinar series focusing on COVID-19 and Dementia. The third webinar is Nov 19, "Maintaining Services and Supports for People Living with Dementia and their Caregivers During COVID-19."
Each webinar will focus on organizations that have pivoted their service delivery systems to continue serving and supporting people living with dementia and their caregivers during the pandemic. The first webinar on October 19 discussed "Providing in-person services and supports to people living with dementia during COVID-19." The second webinar on November 2 discussed "Using Technology to Provide Services to People Living with Dementia and Their Caregivers during COVID-19." The third webinar is November 19.
COVID-19 presents unique challenges to persons living with dementia and their caregivers. Supportive services are essential for people living with dementia and their caregivers, and many organizations that provide those services had to find ways to sustain them amid COVID-19. The third webinar will highlight the work of two ACL dementia grantees that pivoted their work to continue caring for their clients in innovative ways. Maria Ordonez from Florida Atlantic University will discuss methods used to continue adult day services and provide telehealth to clients during COVID-19. Christy Jensen from the Riverside Center for Excellence in Aging and Lifelong Health out of Williamsburg, Va., will share how they adjusted procedures in their geriatric assessment clinic to continue their work.
