When we consider the disease of dementia, it does not serve anyone well to focus solely on the impoverished mind. We all benefit when we lessen concerns about memory, logic, and language precision, and, instead, put our resources into nurturing a person’s unique qualities and abilities. Hear about the research behind reading and how reading for pleasure can mitigate loneliness, transport one beyond the present context, and affirm one’s sense of self. Explore how to make reading accessible and possible for people living with dementia.

Objectives:

  • Review the science behind reading and dementia
  • Discover how reading impacts indicators of well-being in persons with dementia.
  • Explore how to make reading accessible and possible for people living with dementia.
  • Review the process to access funds through the Civil Monetary Penalty Grant Fund to improve the quality of care and life for persons living in dually certified skilled nursing communities.

This program has been approved for Continuing Education for 1.5 total participant hours by NAB/NCERS—Approval #20230809-1.50-A86345-DL and the Delaware Board of Nursing.
