In order to address the significant problem of undiagnosed and under-treated pain in the elderly, Cary A. Brown, University of Alberta and Agnes Mitchell, Grant MacEwan College (Edmonton), developed this website to help family members learn about pain in someone with dementia. The website contains:
· a narrated presentation about pain and dementia
· a downloadable resource pack for family members
· a downloadable pain-log and the PAINAD assessment tool
· a facilitator’s toolkit of background material, a planning guide, promotional material, and supplemental information for organizations who wish to put on a workshop using the materials
