The purpose of this presentation is to introduce the REAP framework, a comprehensive person-centered approach to care that gives health care practitioners practical, specific means and strategies with which to deliver person-centered dementia care. The four pillars of the REAP framework model are relating well, manipulating the environment, recognizing retained abilities, and knowing the person.

This integrated KTE webinar event is brought to you by brainXchange in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA).
