With the aging population continuing to increase, those who work with the elderly need updated and pertinent information. Thirty eight persons attended Enhancing Skills for Eldercare this programming year, and received information on Managing Dementia Related Behaviors, Urinary Incontinence for Healthy Aging and Intergenerational Programming Possibilities.

One hundred percent of attendees were able to name two environmental or physical factors that might cause challenging behaviors and all participants were able to name at least two strategies that could be taken to help prevent these challenging behaviors. General comments included “I have learned to use my common sense and to put myself in the person's place to see what they might want or need.”
