Approximately 10,000 Americans are reaching age 65 every day. And with age being the number 1 risk factor in developing dementia, ongoing information and education is needed in this area across industry. In this presentation, participants will gain a better understanding of the differences between normal aging memory loss and dementia and how to manage the long term services and supports that are needed to promote quality of life.
