Do It With Ease

The Environmental Audit Screening Evaluation (EASE), is a research-based tool that evaluates the more discreet elements of skilled care environments, including those that cater towards individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. This instrument was designed to be a tool which assesses needs and details like no other instruments have before.

The funding awarded will go towards a project testing the tool against already validated environmental assessment instruments. Learn more about Kaup and Calkins' work in the article: "K-State Professor received NIH funding to improve dementia care environments for residents and workers."
