Providing comprehensive care that follows protocol is a top priority of assisted living homes. Unfortunately, there are some families who can make that difficult to do by micromanaging their loved one's care. It's a sensitive issue that requires handling in a professional and firm, yet caring way to ensure a cooperative relationship with the families and residents moving forward.

This class is approved for 1 NCIA board CEU.

Meet the Speaker:

This month, we'll hear from Pam Ostrowski who started her dementia journey with her parents in 2001, with little knowledge of the impact Alzheimer’s would have on their lives over the next 14 years. Ms. Ostrowski was immersed into the world of doctors’ appointments, assisted and memory care living, and acting as her mother’s shield and sword, representing her wishes and being her voice along with her father until his passing in 2011.In her book, “It’s Not That Simple: Helping Families Navigate the Alzheimer’s Journey,” she provides guidance based on her real life experiences in a gentle, relatable way that ensures others will benefit from her knowledge. It is her intent that, in writing her book, she helps countless others navigate the rough seas of the Alzheimer’s journey a bit more easily. Ms. Ostrowski has completed her Certified Dementia Practitioner®(CDP®) and Certified Dementia Care®(CDC®) certifications and currently provides one-to-one dementia and Alzheimer’s family consulting.
