Nearly 7 million Americans are living with dementia, and that number is expected to rise to nearly 13 million in 2015. This presentation highlights ways that you can leverage the resources at the Alzheimer's Association to maximize quality of care to their residents, including, but not limited to, availability training programs and other resources to reduce staff burnout and turnover and how to best support people living with dementia in unique, growing populations (such as the LGBTQ+, veterans, people with developmental disabilities).

Nurse Learner Outcome: At the end of this session, 80% of the participants will self-report a gain in knowledge of dementia and resources to provide high-quality care to people living with dementia, their families, and caregivers.

Learner Objectives:

1. Identify two population trends in dementia.
2. List three resources to help reduce burnout and staff turnover in dementia-care roles.
3. Describe three populations with unique dementia care needs and one consideration for each.
