The Final Journey: When the Person with Dementia Is Dying

Workshop Description

3-hour interactive virtual session

Dementia significantly impacts the dying process, often limiting verbal communication and increasing symptom complexity. This workshop addresses symptom recognition, comfort care, and the ethical considerations of end-of-life support. 

This workshop will help your staff: 

• understand the cognitive and physical changes in late-stage dementia 
• observe and assess symptoms effectively 
• provide dignified, person-centered palliative care 
• navigate ethical dilemmas compassionately 

Who Should Attend

Enhanced workshops are intended for PSWs who have some foundational knowledge, through prior training or on-the-job experience, and some familiarity with the client population. While not suited for those who are brand new to the role, there is some flexibility to accommodate learners at different levels of experience or expertise.
