This presentation (57:13 minutes) given by LuAnn Lundquist discusses how to create a community-based activity group for those with dementia. She walks through what qualifies as a community-based activity group versus an adult day care, who attends a dementia activity group, and the Global Deterioration Scale for dementia and Alzheimer's disease and how an activity group should be geared for each stage. She also discusses who can provide these service and activities. The presentation also includes some rules and precautions that should be created as a policy for an activity group.
