Managing residents’ cognitive decline is a challenge for caregivers and management that will intensify as individuals live longer and the senior living community of the future positions itself to meet the needs of aging residents. The senior living executive works in all settings to develop ways to decrease incidence and risk of decline, as well as to provide the best possible programming to treat impairment. This workshop will examine new ways of understanding Alzheimer’s disease in the context of aging and present evidence-based treatments to prevent symptomatology and functional impairments so residents can maintain independence, quality of life and contribution to the community.
