  • Emphasized the importance of exploring technology for community, advocacy, and caregiver support.
  • Discussed the significance of learning onboarding, off-boarding, privacy issues, and data ownership and security.
  • Explored long-term care challenges faced by both individuals and care providers.
  • Discussed the importance of training staff to empathize with the experiences of individuals living with dementia.

The next Community of Interest (CI) gathering is set for 12 to 1 p.m. on Thursday, May 16, 2024.

In this session, Alexander Shvarts (Professor of Social Sciences) will discuss an assignment his students recently completed that focused on the six ACER themes. Alex will share highlights of the students' work.
