Expanding the Reach of Dementia Live
The Arbor Company's initiative to host regional training sessions aligns with their broader goal of expanding the reach of Dementia Live.

By doing so, they aim to build a supportive network that understands the challenges of dementia and provides compassionate care.
For staff, Dementia Live training ensures that caregivers are equipped with the skills and empathy needed to deliver high-quality care.
