Research
Motivated by our mission of excellence and compassion, the Dementia Institute seeks to answer the unanswered and to ask the questions that haven’t been asked before.
While we may participate with other organizations in the global quest to understand the mechanisms of the diseases that cause dementia, our focus is to research care.
· Which care techniques make the biggest impact on quality of life?
· What ways of engaging can help create joy and maintain safety, all while reducing the need for medications?
· Which regimens improve the way you engage with loved ones? Ex: diet, activity, time of day, etc.
Results of our up-coming studies and the insights gained will be shared as they are completed.
