PiDC Alliance at CAG 2014
PiDC Alliance presents at CAG 2014: Landscapes of Aging
On October 17th 2014 the PiDC Alliance had the pleasure of presenting a symposium at the 43rd Annual Scientific and Educational Meeting of the Canadian Association on Gerontology 2014 - the Landscapes of Aging.
The symposium Changing the culture of dementia care: The work of the Partnerships in Dementia Care (PIDC) Alliance included an overview of the culture change work happening in four diverse dementia care settings.
The first presentation A Dawn and Discovery process rooted in "Culture" at Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care described how community-oriented values are being integrated with East-Asian culture to foster caring relationships within a LTC home.
The second presentation Partnering together to Dream and Design a new culture of dementia care shares the process, strategies, learnings, and tools used to envision new possibilities and create aspiration statements being used to guide a culture change process within a dementia-specific LTC home.
The third presentation The Heart of Dementia Care in a Community Setting: Insights on Relationships from the Huron County Culture Change Coalition presented research findings to illuminate key relational elements that exist for various partners involved in dementia care in a rural community setting.
The fourth presentation Putting LIVING First: Reflections on the Culture Change Journey at The Village of Wentworth Heights focused on learnings from a process in which residents, family members, staff members, and researchers work together to put living first in their LTC home.
