OT and Dementia
Episode description
Dementia is poised to present the most profound global health challenge of the 21st century. The incidence of dementia is skyrocketing, and I believe OTs have a vital role to play in caring for these patients.
This week's article is an extremely comprehensive summary of dementia care—and it covers all sorts of evidence about prevention, screening, and intervention.
This article is an important read for anyone who works with adults and/or has a loved one impacted by this disease.
