SUMMARY:Virtual programs: Dementia Live Experience & Presentation - Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related Behavior
DESCRIPTION:Join Overture Home Care and the Alzheimer’s Association for this virtual learning experience.\nVirtual Dementia Live experience:  \n\nAttendees will participate in a Virtual Dementia Live presentation where household items will be used to engage in a brief\, interactive simulation.
