TITLE: Strategies to Address Social Isolation and Loneliness for People Living with Dementia and their Caregivers
Given the high prevalence and impact of social isolation and loneliness among people living with dementia (PLWD) and those who care for them, providing activities that offer a range of positive health outcomes is critical. In this webinar, presenters will discuss the unique impact of dementia on social isolation and loneliness, tools for measuring these experiences, and common types of programs for addressing social isolation and loneliness among people living with dementia and their caregivers. In addition, Oakwood Creative Care will present how they use Memory Cafés to address the needs of PLWD and their caregivers. Information will be shared on how to create a successful Memory Café in your community and how participation in the Memory Café can significantly reduce social isolation and loneliness for both PLWD and their caregiver.
