The Yee Hong CCC, based in Markham Ontario, held their final CCC meeting of 2012 this past week.
At yesterday's monthly Huron County CCC meeting, the team came together to continue collaborating in data analysis--this time, looking at data collected from staff members at various community organizations in Huron County.
In mid-November, the Huron County Culture Change Coalition (CCC) met to continue the data analysis process in the Discovery phase of the culture change process.
The Huron County CCC is made up of members from various community groups and is not linked to a single Long Term Care (LTC) facility. These community groups are oriented towards providing care for individuals living with dementia in their home.
How we read the data?
The Partnering Together for Change (PTfC) team, comprised staff and family partners from Bloomington Cove Specialty Care in care and researchers from the Partnerships in Dementia Care (PiDC) Alliance met in late November.
PTfC is nearing the end of the 'Discovery' phase of the Culture Change Process. For the last several meetings, the team has been working collaboratively to analyse data related collected from key stakeholders at Bloomington Cove.
The Partnerships in Dementia Care (PiDC) Alliance is focused on culture change in Long Term Care settings for people who are living with dementia. We encourage you to listen to this podcast about remarkable work that is being done in Denmark. The documentary was recently produced by the CBC's Sunday Edition and is an inspiring listen for anyone interested in how to think about and include individuals living with dementia in the care process.
PiDC Project Co- Principal Investigator, Dr. Sherry Dupuis is presenting a poster detailing work to date by the Partnerships in Dementia Care Alliance at the 65th meeting of the Gerontology Association of America in San Diego California.
The poster is the result of a collaborative effort between members of the research team reflecting their experiences at the four Culture Change Coalition (CCC) sites.
The Partnerships in Dementia Care (PiDC) Alliance is proud to congratulate the Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program (MAREP) on the launch of their new website. The Living with Dementia website contains important, accessible information on how to live with a diagnosis of dementia.
