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? 

In mid-November, the CCC at the Markham Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric care met and, as usual shared a meal together.  Yee Hong serves a primarily Chinese and South Asian clientele, and works hard to ensure that cultural values, such as celebration and sharing food, are reflected in their own culture change practice.

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.

Dementia Care in Denmark

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.
