Reducing Late-Day Confusion in People with Dementia: An Innovative and Practical Approach - Webinar

Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are very common in residents with dementia. Perhaps the most challenging types are those that occur as part of the sundowning (late-day confusion) syndrome. Currently, there are very few intervention models that demonstrate success in reducing symptom frequency and severity. Too often, the primary (and often only) intervention is medication-based. While medications are often necessary, they are generally not sufficient. This presentation will discuss the interprofessional model and present evidence of its effectiveness using a clinical case. Healthcare staff, clinicians, and leaders working with residents with dementia should find this presentation to be highly innovative and practical.
