Regsiter for the webinar
Join the ACL-funded National Alzheimer’s and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) for their upcoming webinar, Expanding the Reach of Dementia Programs: Making a Plan and Pivoting as You Learn Through Implementation.
Even with the most thoughtful program planning, in real-world implementation, sometimes plans don’t play out as expected. Reaching and engaging people for dementia programs may require willingness to adjust course and engage new partners and participants as you learn. This presentation will showcase the work of two dementia programs that made significant adaptations to their original outreach, recruitment, and partnership plans to support the uptake of their community dementia programs.
OCCK Inc. is implementing the Care Ecosystem care navigator program in rural Kansas. They will focus on adaptations OCCK Inc. made to their partnerships and recruitment techniques when their original plan did not yield desired enrollment levels. OCCK Inc. found and engaged new partners, members of the faith community (nuns), and independent pharmacists committed to serving people living with dementia and caregivers. They adjusted course by training their new partners in their effort to expand their program reach and participant enrollment.
Aging & In-Home Services of Northeast Indiana is implementing the Hospital 2 Home care transitions program. Their presentation will include information on their program and the ways in which the team pivoted their implementation plans to infuse new outreach techniques. They will provide insight into the various methods undertaken to engage new health care providers using success stories and training opportunities which resulted in increased program participation.
