VDSS/VCU 2023 Winter Conference – Creating a Safe and Caring Environment through Person-centered Dementia Practices

What can person-centered care look like while working alongside individuals diagnosed with dementia? How can we strengthen our communication skills, both verbally and nonverbally, to create a safe and caring environment? What are current best practices when abuse or neglect is suspected? What happens if abuse or neglect occurs outside of our immediate scope of care?
