Connection Series: Shifting the Landscape of Dementia

Dementia care is evolving. More individuals are being diagnosed earlier and are seeking education, autonomy, and meaningful engagement after diagnosis. What does this mean for residential communities and future care models. We will explore the rise of early-stage support, growing focus on brain health and risk reduction, the shift toward person-centered, strengths-based care, and how communities can prepare for what’s next. Led by Brooke Gill, MA, CDP, Senior Manager for the Central and Western Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association
