Become Dementia FriendlyChange Your Dementia Care Culture! Collaboration...The Key Component in the Battle Plan Against Dementia. Join our Campaign to become Dementia Friendly. Bottom line all businesses and individuals need to become Dementia Friendly. The statistics alone show the numbers are staggering and only growing. Now is the time to get ahead of the game before negative outcomes increase. We offer "Dementia Friendly Programs" for both companies and individuals. How does your organization interact with those dealing with dementia? Do you even know when the person you are talking to has dementia or when you have engaged a care partner stuggling to care for a loved one? Chances are you don't have a clue. There are no significant signs of dementia until a person is further along in the disease. Many people with memory loss are still driving. Alzheimer's disease and Dementia are not just for the "old." People in there 40's are being diagnosed. Did you know that? What else don't you know? Much of what you and your company does effects people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of Dementia as well as those caring for them. There are many things you can do to be Dementia Friendly. None of them have to break your budget. In addition, you can help remove the stigmas that those living with the disease have to deal with daily. Contact us and let us show you how to differentiate your organization, become a positive influence in your community, build your brand and your customer base all at the same time utilizing our multiple platforms, tools and resources. Below we have broken down businesses into four basic categories. Each has a different focus, influence and impact on those with Dementia and those that care for them. They are as follows: Businesses with increased contact due to the medical condition (Examples – Professionals such as - Doctors, Nurses, LPN’s, Clinics, Hospitals, Social Workers, Clergy, Pharmacies, Attorneys, Financial Planners, Insurance Agents, Senior Housing, Realtors…) Businesses which are part of everyday life (Examples – Grocery Stores, Bakeries, Coffee Shops, Gas Stations, Restaurants, Banks, Malls/Retail Stores, Hardware Stores, Dry Cleaners, Car Sales, Utility Companies, where you work...) Influential Businesses - those in power positions (Examples – Legislators, Media, Clergy, Federal, State, City and County Workers…) Businesses which supply comfort, entertainment and balance (Examples – Fitness Centers, Parks, Recreational Centers, Theaters, Beauty Salons, Barber Shops, Sports Arenas, Restaurants, Hotels, Bowling Alleys…) Alzheimer's Speaks believes collaboration is the key to living a successful and purpose filled life with dementia. By working together, we can push both conventional and alternative efforts forward in search of answers. By joining forces and sharing knowledge, we can win the battle against dementia.

Contracted Webinars Meeting the Mandates without Breaking the Bank! Our inaugural kickoff for this series was with LeadingAge Wisconsin in February of 2012. Shifting care culture and meeting regulatory requirements does not have to break your budget, and it can be fun, engaging, and inspiring. This webinar series offers an economical way to meet the training mandates and shift your dementia care culture to be person-centered. The series also will cover the mandates of abuse prevention and effectively managing the challenging behaviors exhibited by some individuals who have dementia. By packaging 14 training modules into a series, Lori has significantly reduced the module price, making it budget- friendly for your organization. In addition, Shifting Your Dementia Care Culture will build a new sense of respect and understanding for how participants give and receive care, not only at work, but throughout their lives. This training series will address quality of life issues to improve your care delivery systems while focusing on a person-centered model. Although the new mandate from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) specifically says the training is for nursing assistants, CMS also has noted their intent is to have facilities expand the scope to include other direct and non-direct care staff in the trainings on abuse prevention and care of people with dementia. Your organization can get a head start on this mandate, as Shifting Your Dementia Care Culture was designed not just for your nursing assistants, but for your entire community -- your employees, resident family members, and the public at large. You see, Lori La Bey understands that it is impossible to shift a societal culture without educating society at large. She knows “buy in” is needed on all levels if we truly are going to shift mindsets. This means speaking the same language to all involved: people with dementia, staff, family and friends, and the public. This series can easily be used as a marketing tool as we provide your organization with a PR Campaign to boot! You can educate your families and business professionals on the importance of shifting society’s dementia care model to be one that provides person-centered care in a collaborative fashion. The Shifting Your Dementia Care Culture webinar series is designed around the concept Lori calls Emotional-Based Training™. Each session was purposely developed to be short, fun, and inspirational, as well as to provide learning lessons, simple tools, tips, and techniques to shift your dementia care culture. Lori’s goal is to shift not only the minds of participants, but their hearts and souls as well. By doing so, people are able to shift their “Personal Delivery Style of Care” to reflect a heart model, the foundation of which is person-centered. Shifting culture requires all parties to be educated at a similar pace using similar language. Yes, you can do it piece-meal, position by position, then family and friends, and finally wrapping up with the public at large. But that method simply is not efficient nor effective, and certainly it is not an economically responsible way to drive change. Shifting a culture works much better and faster when we all work together for a common goal. Based on this, Lori has developed 14 one-hour modules. Two modules will be completed each month to give your organization the heart and mind set to transform your dementia care culture in less than a year! Each module will be presented via the specified platform (webinar or radio) to employees as well as to your clients’ families/friend base and/or public at large on the designated day. Both sessions will have the same message, although tweaked for each audience. That’s a total of 28 live presentations! Each presentation will be recorded and all recordings can be accessible for future use if desired. This allows your organization to continue training staff, families, and the public on person-centered care focused for those with dementia.
