2016 Iowa Assisted Living Association  – Spring Conference

The Conference will start off with Barbara Kyles & TimeSlips which is an innovative, inexpensive, and effective group storytelling method that helps people with dementia reaffirm their humanity and connect with staff, family, and friends. Then we’ll spend time with Marianne Smith to discuss the loss of abilities and function among older adults with dementia that may be further complicated by co-occurring mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and delirium.
