TROY, Mich., Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Of the 5.8 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, most remain in their homes throughout the progression of the disease. This option can allow greater comfort, familiarity, and quality of life compared to institutional care. Although there are benefits to aging at home, research reveals individuals and families dealing with dementia at home face significant disease-related and social challenges; thus, there is an urgent and growing need for more dementia-capable home care services. In light of the situation, stakeholders—including policymakers, administrators, families, and people living with dementia—continuously emphasize interdisciplinary staff training to create a more dementia-capable workforce.

Key Points: 
  • ComForCare and At Your Side Home Care have launched DementiaWise, an innovative occupation-based and team-centered training program designed to help their home care teams resolve dementia-related challenges.
  • The DementiaWise program is changing the way home care agencies approach memory care training and client collaboration in the U. S. and Canada.
  • Developing a dementia-capable workforce has proven a challenge for the entire health care industry, including home care agencies.
  • Dr. McKay is an occupational therapist, dementia care specialist, and international trainer and speaker on topics related to dementia care and caregiver education.
