Quality Dementia Care Information and Resources

They offer suggestions, ideas, and recommendations from a variety of individuals representing different professions as well as organizations. In some cases, the ideas suggested may not be realistic for an AFH due to licensing regulations. You must always follow local, state, and federal laws and codes.
