University of Iowa researchers are recruiting farmers with dementia and their caregivers to participate in an educational series tailored to their specific needs. U-I associate professor of public health, Kanika Arora says most dementia safety programs are focused on residential settings.
The Farm Families Coping with Dementia series consists of four weekly sessions that covers the entire scope of agricultural hazards.
The next training starts in October. State data shows that more than 66 thousand Iowans who are 65 and older have Alzheimer’s Disease.
