FITCHBURG - Progression of Dementia and What Skills Remain

Progression of Dementia – What Skills Remain
Often the progression of dementia is measured in stages that focuses on what skills are lost. This approach does not give us tools to help provide care and support. Instead, we will look at what skills remain and shift our support accordingly by using Teepa Snow’s GEMS State Model.
