Here is a room full of Western Region Care Managers, all committed to learning and growing stronger in their knowledge to better serve the clients and families who count on us!
Day three's first session focused on traumatic brain injury and expanded the care manager's understanding of the condition. This information added valuable tools to their care management toolbox. When colleagues learn together, they grow together! Parent Care's Certified Dementia Practitioner, Sheila Umeda, MSW, was deep in learning during today’s session on Lewy Body Dementia, one of the lesser-known and often challenging dementias to recognize and diagnose.🧠📚
Sherene Brouwer, RN, said of the sessions, "Continuing to expand our knowledge so we can better recognize the complexities of dementia and provide thoughtful, informed support to the clients and families we serve."
