A Pacesetter for Positive Change in Dementia Care

To be the developer of The Green House Project's BEST LIFE Approach for supporting persons living with dementia, it takes a very special commitment to person-directed living, the dignity of risk taking, and maintaining mobility. 

This is certainly the case for today's guest, Anne Ellett. As a certified nurse practitioner and gerontological nurse, a dementia specialist, educator, author and speaker who continues to learn from persons living with dementia, Ellett brings a perspective that few others in the field can. 

She sits down with Susan Ryan to talk about her unique journey in dementia care and the moments that have shaped her career, culminating in her recent book, "Getting Dementia Care Right"—written for memory care professionals, individuals living with dementia, and family caregivers. 

Ellett offers key highlights from her book, sharing principles that focus on improving quality of life, normalcy, and individualized care. She also talks about the tools and strategies for embracing innovative approaches to support people living with dementia, addressing and overcoming the challenges to produce positive changes in the lives of resident and care staff alike.
