- Inclusion of three of the most widely-used cognitive screening tools (MoCA, SLUMS, FAST) and additional resources to motivate and support dementia staging
- Up-do-date advice regarding the recent pandemic considerations (e.g., to mitigate damages due to the increased isolation for seniors and individuals in long term care)
- All evaluation and treatment resources are supported with EBP and any recent developments in relevant research (including regarding risk factors and prevention and increasing consumer health literacy)
