@nat_rtap A3. Signs to look for: confusion, lack of memory for commands given, lack of orientation to person, place, or time. Treat all with dignity and patience. #AllOnboard4MentalHealth

Q3. As riders age, what signs should drivers, dispatchers, and mobility managers look out for that may be related to Alzheimer’s and Dementia? #AllOnboard4MentalHealth

@NADTCmobility A2. Some riders may exhibit challenging behaviors. It is important to repeat safety instructions clearly, calmly, and slowly. Eye contact and proximity to the rider are also crucial to establish trust. #AllOnboard4MentalHealth

@NADTCmobility A1. Safety starts with making each passenger feel seen and heard. Engaging caregivers is also key, as they are the point person in the passenger’s care. #AllOnboard4MentalHealth
