Did you know that even though there are already currently over 50 million people on the planet living with dementia, that number is anticipated to surge to 131 million by 2050? Because of staggering health increases like this one, it's imperative to adopt evidence-based approaches aimed at improving the quality of life for those under our care. This involves offering comprehensive training and resources to ensure optimal care provision.
