Person-Centered Care Creativity Training

Person-Centered Care Creativity Training represents a new direction for us. Taking the knowledge, we have learned in the past 20 plus years of working with more than 500 nursing homes in 36 states, serving more than 50,000 elders and people living with dementia, we have created a unique curriculum and staff training. This is the first implementation this new product.

The project will take place at two nursing homes and focus on training for healthcare staff to learn and implement the APP Person-Centered Care methods. The project’s performance will be measured by the “Social Isolation and Engagement Surveys.” This will allow us to monitor the level of connection the residents and nursing home staff report during the workshops.

Please check back for our final report on the project in August.
