The Caregiver Trifecta: Empowering Families to Plan for Personhood, Dignity and Connection at Every Stage of Care
November 5, 2024 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EST
Every family caregiver needs a care team to help carry out a plan that includes the person with dementia. Katie Brandt, MM, will introduce an innovative person-centered care planning approach that incorporates the person with the diagnosis, their care partners, and their community as the anchor for each element of care. She will guide attendees on the steps they can take to build a plan that reflects values, goals of care, personhood, and dignity at every stage of life lived with dementia.
