Summary:
Whether it is a planned admission or an unexpected emergency visit, the unfamiliar noises and activities of a hospital can be especially upsetting for a person living with dementia. Preparation can improve a visit.
The purpose of this webinar is to present a series of communication tools: Be Ready for an Emergency Department Visit: A Toolkit. Developed from our research, the tools are intended to make the transition to the ED, the time in the ED and transition back home less distressing. The tools were developed with the support of the Alzheimer Society of Canada, and are available for download from their website.
This integrated KTE webinar event is brought to you by brainXchange in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).
