In partnership with Lifespan of Greater Rochester, LiveOn NY is offering a FREE webinar series for aging service professionals.

As the number of people living with dementia continues to grow, it’s essential that our network of providers feels confident and prepared to offer meaningful support—both to individuals experiencing dementia and to the family and friend care partners who support them.

This workshop is designed to equip staff and program providers with the knowledge and practical strategies they need to respond with empathy, respect, and confidence when dementia becomes part of the picture. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of dementia and how it affects individuals; learn to recognize signs that someone may be experiencing cognitive changes; and receive guidance on how to approach individuals and/or their care partners to express concerns.

Speakers: Stephanie Montero, Community Liaison & Care Manager, Lifespan of Greater Rochester; Cassidy Macdonald, Education Coordinator, Lifespan of Greater Rochester; and Katy Allen, Division Leader, Caregiver Services, Director, Finger Lakes Caregiver Institute, Lifespan of Greater Rochester, Inc.
