On December 13^th 2018 , they were awarded certificates for completing training and recognized by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners!

The team was instructed by Billiejean O’Brien RN, MSN, LNHA,N E A – BC, CDP , Trainer NCCDP who stated “By investing in our team’s continued development and education we believe we will continue to offer our residents the best possible opportunity for care and quality outcomes.”

Every element of our care affects the quality of life a resident experiences with us which is why it was of utmost importance to include all departments in our training from environmental services to direct caregivers and administration. The education outlined diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, communication, feelings, depression, repetitive behavior and aggressive behaviors with appropriate de-escalation techniques, activities, environment, staff and family support.

Each of our graduates received a corsage, certificate of completion by the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners along with a lapel pin to wear proudly when caring for our residents.
