Now more than ever, today’s hospice population is in need of dementia-specific psychosocial and spiritual support.

This webinar will show social workers and chaplains how to design targeted programs and services for people living with dementia and the circles of support that surround them. We’ll discuss why dementia is now a leading hospice diagnosis and what that shift means for psychosocial and spiritual care roles. Explore practical models for assessing needs, structuring visits, engaging families, and integrating higher levels of support into the plan of care, so dementia-focused programming is intentional, consistent, and person centered.
