"All the frameworks that are available as resources are not going to be helpful if active listening (and not assigning emotions) are not at the foundation of the discussion." - Deanna Rymaszewski, MSW, APSW, APHSW Join the conversation: https://bit.ly/4hoQrX4 HFA's live program "Dementia and End-of-Life Care: Clinical Responses and Interventions"

"On average, caregivers for persons living with dementia provide 68 hours per week of unpaid care, which can lead to burnout and challenging health outcomes for those caregivers." - Deanna Rymaszewski, MSW, APSW, APHSW Join the conversation: https://bit.ly/4hoQrX4 HFA's live program "Dementia and End-of-Life Care: Clinical Responses and Interventions"

"The FAST Scale is one of the most commonly used assessment tools, but it has limitations. It is only applicable to Alzheimer's (not other forms of dementia), and most patients do not go through these stages in a standard process." - André Cernasov, DO Join the conversation: https://bit.ly/4hoQrX4 HFA's live program "Dementia and End-of-Life Care: Clinical Responses and Interventions"

"Dementia is a disease of cognitive frailty that also leads to physical frailty. By the time someone is eligible for hospice care, their function is generally already low. Yet the overall prognosis and timeline is more difficult to predict, compared to a cancer diagnosis." - André Cernasov, DO Join the conversation: https://bit.ly/4hoQrX4 HFA's live program "Dementia and End-of-Life Care: Clinical Responses and Interventions"
