The Center for Applied Research in Dementia aims to improve the quality of life of persons with dementia and related disorders, and the lives of their caregivers, by enabling persons with dementia to engage in meaningful, productive activity and to fulfill meaningful social roles within their families and communities. Their website offers some free resources such as signage that can explain COVID-19 restrictions to a person living with dementia and Montessori-based activity ideas.

• The National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems hosted a webinar outlining the definition of person-centered thinking, planning, and practice. Panelists, including Dr. Cameron Camp of the Center for Applied Research in Dementia, discuss individual, community, and system level approaches to make supports for people with dementia more person-centered.
• This Q&A from the webinar offers helpful background on communicating with persons with dementia, helping family members with dementia, and helpful community resources.
