It is important to know that dementia does not increase risk for COVID‐19, the respiratory illness caused by the new coronavirus. However, altered behavior, increased age and other health conditions may increase risk. People with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia's may forget to wash their hands or the proper steps to wash their hands. They may need extra cues and/or written reminders and support to remember important hygienic practices from one day to the next.

In this presentation, the objectives are:

1. To describe the challenges faced within long-term care in providing supportive end-of-life care to frail residents in the last year or so of life.

2. To present evidence-based approaches to providing supportive end-of-life care in a long-term-care setting.

3. To discuss developing and implementing a frailty pathway within long-term care.

"Newer considerations in the care of people with Alzheimer's disease"

Having or caring for a loved one with dementia can create a flood of emotions and challenges. While we always want to prevent dementia, even slowing its progression can improve the quality of life for both the person with dementia and their carers. The good news is that actions which prevent dementia are the same ones which can slow its progress. Even more importantly, these actions are simple and have beneficial impacts on physical health as well. Healthy eating, physical activity, social interactions and a sense of purpose in life are all effective ways of preventing and slowing dementia, not to mention improving quality of life at all stages. While such recommendations may sound rather mundane, there is now a large body of evidence explaining how these lifestyle factors directly impact the brain. Sometimes, the simplest interventions are the best interventions.
