12:00 PM CTLiving Longer, Better | Beyond memory care: Building dementia-inclusive communities through integrated wellness
Dementia inclusion cannot live only in memory care. People living with cognitive change are part of the full community: independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, dining rooms, hallways, wellness programs, family life, spiritual life, and everyday routines.
Featuring Kirsten Jacobs, MSW, from LeadingAge and Teffie Landmann, COTA/L, from Landis Communities, this session should help the audience see dementia inclusion as a community-wide movement, not a department, neighborhood, or checklist. The goal is not to dismiss safety. The goal is to ask whether safety is helping people live fully, or whether life has quietly been reduced to safety.
Learning objectives:
- What dementia inclusion means in whole-person wellness.
- How interdisciplinary teams can notice isolation, disengagement, and changing needs earlier.
- What operational practices make communities more inclusive and supportive.
Speakers:
-
Kirsten Jacobs, MSW, VP, Shared Learning Initiatives, LeadingAge

Teffie Landmann, COTA/L, Director of Dementia-Friendly Experience, Landis Communities
