Change Your Mind, Change Your Life: How Mindset Transforms Dementia Care
Friday, April 3 • 2:30 PM • Coterie Cathedral Hill • Invite-Only Event
About This Event
Dementia care is deeply shaped by the mindset of those providing it. While a diagnosis may remain the same, the way families and caregivers understand, interpret, and respond can significantly impact daily experiences and outcomes.
This presentation explores the shift from a correction-focused, task-driven approach to one rooted in empathy, flexibility, and person-centered thinking. Attendees will gain practical insights on how reframing mindset can reduce distress, improve communication, and enhance overall quality of life — not only for those living with dementia, but for everyone involved in their care.
