Harmony is the novel, evidence-based dementia care program developed by Dr. Elizabeth Rhodus. It uniquely blends the research and techniques from her background in neuroscience, gerontology, and occupational therapy to create harmony between dementia caregivers and their loved ones. While not publicly available yet, we are actively working to get it to you and the ones you’re caring for! Please read this article from University of Kentucky’s College of Medicine to learn more about the development of Harmony, and hear about the lives that have already been changed by it:
It was an honor to present our lab’s work at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London this year! Dr. Elizabeth Rhodus was invited to give a podium presentation on the impacts of her novel Harmony dementia care program. Lab members Dr. Clarissa Benzarti and Ms. Nancy Wolff also presented their own posters at the conference. Sharing our work with experts from all over the world helps spread the news about our findings and inspires us to continue exploring how we can help our community age healthily and happily.
