A Functional Approach For Achieving Meaningful Goals With Persons With Dementia

Course overview

This clinically focused program uses a case study format to explain how to successfully evaluate and treat persons with dementia. Participants will learn the importance of categorizing the type of dementia before establishing a plan of treatment. Participants will also learn how to document medical necessity and skilled services, the two requirements necessary for reimbursement. In addition, participants will review evidence-based interventions that are likely to yield functional and meaningful outcomes for persons with dementia. Additional discussions will include caregiver education and identification of barriers that must be addressed before successful treatment outcomes can be achieved.
