Mint Home Care recently attended an enlightening Lunch & Learn hosted by Westminster at Lake Ridge, bringing together local senior care professionals for an important conversation about dementia care.

The event featured Positive Approach XR, an immersive dementia care training experience designed to help caregivers build greater empathy and practical skills when supporting people living with dementia. The presentation was led by CJ Conway, founder of Content for Good, and Sophia Cameron, dementia care specialist and PAC-certified trainer.

A Few Dementia Facts Shared at the Event

The discussion highlighted just how many families are touched by dementia:

• About 1 in 9 adults age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s disease.
• More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.
• Dementia is not a normal part of aging.
• Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia.
• 1 in 3 older adults dies with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.

For the Mint Home Care team, events like this are a wonderful opportunity to learn, connect, and bring new perspectives back to the families we serve.

Thank you to Westminster at Lake Ridge, CJ Conway, and Sophia Cameron for an informative afternoon and for helping our senior care community continue the conversation about compassionate, person-centered dementia care.
