Teepa Snow: Providing Dementia Care During COVID-19 Q&A
Date: Wednesday, May 13, 2020
Time: 3:00 p.m. ET
Duration: 1 hour
During our first COVID-19 webinar with Teepa Snow, Living With Dementia During The COVID-19 Pandemic, we received many thoughtful questions about how to provide care to people living with dementia. To properly address the unique challenges of those providing care during this pandemic, Teepa Snow and Melanie Bunn are hosting a follow up webinar to answer the questions we have received, as well as field additional questions.
Identifying Signs of Depression and Anxiety in People Living With Dementia
Date: Thursday, May 28, 2020
Time: 3:00 p.m. ET
Duration: 1 hour
The brains of people living with dementia are very vulnerable to chemical changes and psychological conditions. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme changes in day-to-day routines, and those who are living with dementia may or may not be able to fully comprehend the reasoning behind all the changes. Individuals living with dementia are therefore at a greatly increased risk for depression and anxiety due to isolation and changes in daily routine they have been experiencing. Recognizing changes that may signal symptoms of a mood or emotional disorder is vital in providing the best possible care and responding effectively. During this session Teepa Snow will help providers recognize and respond more accurately to depression and anxiety to reduce the chances for escalation and ‘non-helpful’ hospitalizations.

Complicated Grief and Loss: Uncharted Territory With COVID-19
This pandemic is unlike anything we have ever witnessed. Patients who are seriously ill with COVID-19 are physically separated from their families due to risk of viral spread. Patients are dying alone, and families are having to say goodbye to their loved ones over cell-phones and iPads. Healthcare professionals are struggling with moral distress, compassion fatigue, and burnout from limited equipment and protective gear, cumulative losses, and heavy workloads. This webinar will discuss the difficult loss experiences patients, families and healthcare workers are facing and strategies to deal with the associated grief.
Teepa Snow: Living With Dementia During the COVID-19 Pandemic
This webinar focuses on dementia and care during the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of maintaining a six-foot social distancing boundary among people living with dementia (PLwD) housed in a setting designed for congregate living and social integration is simply not logical, reasonable, or achievable. To support both the health care providers choosing to provide care and the individuals who are housed in these settings, something different is needed. This webinar highlights different, person-centered working practices and routines to optimize the well-being of all involved, given the impossibility of following isolation guidelines without causing potentially irreparable harm to individuals and their relationship with those providing the only human contact they will be receiving in this situation.
Protecting Mothers and Babies: COVID-19 and the Obstetric Patient
As COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus, continues to spread rapidly across the United States, the dangers presented to one of the most vulnerable populations—mothers and newborns—must be swiftly addressed.
Maximizing Your LMS During Staffing Emergencies
Staffing emergencies are a challenging and stressful time for healthcare organizations. Leaders have to make tough decisions on the best way to use valuable human resources. Oftentimes, we fail to consider the benefits and efficiencies our non-human resources, such as an LMS, can provide. From training plans to competency checks to virtual classrooms, use your LMS to ensure your staff have the needed skills, training, and education to continue to provide quality patient care while reducing their time away from patients.
