Dementia Connection Model

The Dementia Connection Model© was created by Dr. Jennifer Stelter while working alongside those with dementia and their caregivers and staff for over a decade. It's the first cognitive-behavioral framework in dementia care that improves the quality of life for the individual with dementia and deepens the connection between that person and their caregiver.

In this workbook style guide, she shares this new model designed to help dementia caregivers understand, cope, and handle some of the most challenging symptoms associated with the disease, while encouraging and reinforcing independence and quality of life for their loved ones or residents.
