Essentials of Person-Centered Memory Care
Many in the senior living sector face high staff turnover, resulting in continual onboarding and supervisory time. In our pilot program, we developed a custom learning solution for CHI Living Communities, in partnership with Ja’Nay Crippen-Derry, Vice President of Clinical Operations, that incorporates each organization's mission, vision, and values into the workforce training. The Memory Care workforce solution is designed to empower senior care professionals to improve the health conditions of people living with dementia. Learners will be certified to demonstrate person-centered care in their daily work and to build memory care specializations within their facility as a result of this workforce training.

Providers who train their staff with the program are eligible to purchase the Alzheimer’s Association essentiALZ® certification.
