Supporting people with dementia in their daily lives presents family members, caregivers, and companions with unique challenges. Understanding behavioral changes, responding appropriately, and remaining respectful requires knowledge, empathy, and practical strategies.

In the digital care circle you will receive practical impulses and concrete, everyday action options for dealing with people with dementia.

Key topics include:

  • Understanding dementia-related changes
  • Communication that creates security and trust
  • Dealing with challenging situations
  • Promoting structure and orientation in everyday life
  • Relief options for accompanying persons

In addition to expert input, the event also offers space for exchange, questions and practical case studies.
