Last month I introduced you to our CCAC/Saint Elizabeth Culture Change Coalition (CCC) and I am continuing to provide you with updates on our meetings.
Our meeting in March had to be cancelled due to poor weather conditions, so today was our second meeting. We are lucky to have someone new join our Coalition, a representative from ONE CARE Home and community Support services located in the Huron county.
Today, we continued to brainstorm ways to enhance the involvement of persons with dementia and their care partners and revised the principles guiding our CCC. The main task for this meeting was the review of the CARE Profiles. We found that many of the the questions on the questionnaires either needed to be slightly revised, or removed all together, as they were not applicable to a community care setting. We decided to continue revising the questions at our next meeting. Lastly, we explored possible solutions for the challenge of having all CCC members present at our meetings. We are all busy people, so finding a consisting meeting date that suits our needs is a top priority.
