Program Description: Dementia is a silver tsunami with almost 14 million Americans expected to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease by 2050. Providing safe and effective home care for these clients requires not only a different caregiver skill set but also additional administrative support. This session will teach how to successfully implement a Dementia-specific service line. In addition, we will conclude our session with a thought-provoking discussion regarding Medicare Advantage plans and homecare’s role in delivering quality care to the plan’s members.
