UK study: ‘Person-centered care’ improves lives of dementia residents, caregivers

Monday

A new University of Kentucky study shows that prioritizing joy and engagement through enrichment activities is vital for the health of both residents and the caregivers who support them. This research highlights how advancing Kentucky’s health care means looking beyond standard measures to support the holistic well-being of the aging population.
