Arden Courts Provides Firefighter Dementia Training

All Tied Up….Westlake firefighters struggled to tie their shoes with oven mitts at the Westlake Rec Center week as part of a dementia training seminar hosted by Arden Courts. The firefighters were subjected to various activity hardships to simulate dementia limitations.

Westlake is a dementia friendly city. The Westlake Rec Center provided a classroom for dementia training of the Westlake Fire Department on Tues., Nov. 12.

April Suva-Surovi, Senior Business Development Specialist for Arden Courts of Westlake headed the dementia training to the Westlake Fire Department.

This interactive program educates the first responders on what dementia is, the different types, the physical and emotional changes that occur with the disease and tips on having good outcomes and interactions. Arden Courts has over 26 years of experience with dementia care and helps educate caregivers and many types of professionals on the disease.
