How can dementia care training improve team collaboration in healthcare settings?

Collaboration in dementia care starts with shared knowledge. A unified training approach helps teams align on dementia stages, assessment tools, and care strategies - leading to better outcomes for residents, patients, and caregivers. By fostering a common understanding, organizations can improve communication, streamline decision-making, and enhance care quality at every stage of dementia. Investing in team-wide training lays the foundation for a more supportive, person-centered care environment.
