“We’ve been through nearly a year of emergency operations that have tested our protocols and our perseverance,” Dannelle Whiteside, interim APSU president, said. “It is rare to have such a lengthy scenario, but it has prepared us for future crises.

Considering some simple accommodations for those with dementia and their caregivers when holiday planning can ensure an inclusive, safe, and meaningful holiday season for all.” said Sarah Elliott, Tennessee Dementia Services Coordinator with the Tennessee Commission on Aging and Disability
