A digital training program significantly improved the quality of life for people with dementia who lived in assisted living communities and nursing homes in the United Kingdom. As a result, there was a 20% reduction in use of psychotropic medications, the authors noted in a report published Dec. 20 in Alzheimer’s & Dementia. The goal of the 16-week program was to train staff members to deliver personalized care to residents.
