A partnership with the University of Southern Indiana Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program and Dementia Friendly Petersburg recently allowed a local restaurant to host their monthly Dementia-Friendly Dining Hours.
Dr. Katie Ehlman, former Director of the Bronstein Center for Healthy Aging and Wellness, explains how USI is preparing the healthcare workforce to meet the needs of aging Hoosiers.
In what officials are referring to as a "first-of-its-kind" effort across the nation, USI's Center for Healthy Aging and Wellness will use a $75,000 grant to fund dementia care training for Southwest Indiana nursing home staff.
