Interested in learning a new hand-feeding technique to combat weight loss and malnutrition in your older adult patients with dementia? Clinical guidelines call for careful hand-feeding, but what does this mean and how do we teach caregivers how to do it?
Join us for a fun, interactive skills workshop where you will:
- Experience the sensory changes that our patients with dementia live with each day
- Learn mealtime techniques to assist individuals in the different phases of dementia
- Practice hand-feeding techniques to assist individuals who can no longer eat independently
Registered Dietitians who participate can earn 3 hours of continuing professional education by completing this workshop. Participants who complete the post-training evaluation will receive a $25 gift card!
