Using Technology and Tools to Support Independent Living for Older Adults 

Ron Beleno is an advocate for dementia, caregiving, aging, and research communities. While caring for his father who was living with dementia, Mr. Beleno developed an expertise in the use of technology, community and access to research to support his family to live as well as possible at home.
