ALFA 2013 Conference & Expo Session: Memory Care in 2020 and Beyond
Presented: Tuesday, May 7 | 3:45 PM – 4:45 PM
Today, many senior living organizations serve residents living with dementia through specially dedicated environments and/or programs suited to their unique needs. Over the next five to ten years, however, the demographics in senior living are predicted to undergo a remarkable series of changes that will be unlike anything seen in the past. What will happen when the paradigm flips, and people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia are the majority of those in senior living settings?
In this session, Dr. Rabins will analyze the dramatic growth likely to be seen in the number of older adults, domestically and globally, living with dementia, and discuss the implications for senior living organizations. What will the operational challenges be when the number of senior living residents living with dementia, or who have undetected early signs of dementia, outnumber residents with normal cognition? Dr. Rabins will explore the potential impacts of this dramatic shift on how prepared your current physical environment and programming, marketing and admission criteria are, and discuss possible steps that executive directors and senior living organizations can take to be prepared to manage the changes to come.
>> Faculty: Peter v. Rabins, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Co-Director, Division of Geriatric Psychiatry and Neuropsychiatry, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine
