Sexual Intimacy in the
AL Setting
In AL we need to understand and define sexuality and what it means to residents. Once we understand the positive effects of intimacy and sexuality for residents, we can change our preconditioned attitudes towards sex among seniors. Helping change attitudes toward sexuality in AL's will improve outcomes from sexuality related incidents. We will review how dementia affects sexual consent in AL's.

Medical Marijuana & CBD in Assisted Living
Presenter: Rob Leffler & Janet Feldkamp
Providers, residents, and families are all asking questions about the use of medical marijuana and CBD in Assisted Living. While the use of CBD is easier to interpret as a "supplement," medical marijuana for residents or staff still poses unique questions as it is federally still not legal, and not a "prescription" from a physician as well as not obtainable through a facility's pharmacy. Attend this webinar given by a pharmacist, an attorney, and a provider to discuss these challenges.

Introducing Montessori Approach to Dementia Care
Presenter: Lori Horstman
All too often persons with dementia have been told or taught that they are no longer capable. They are taught to believe that someone must take care of them because they are no longer able to care for themselves. It is very easy to train dependency in dementia. What if we viewed dementia as a disability rather than a disease? The emphasis would shift to focusing on their abilities and strengths rather than on what they can no longer do.
