Memory care is a unique subset of assisted living and nursing home care and is a key factor in addressing specific social, medical and safety needs of people who have dementia or other form of cognitive impairment.
As we look ahead to the future, the CHI Living Communities team is committed to providing the best experiences possible for seniors and their families, as well as our employees. And while no one knows when the pandemic will end, we know that with our collective experiences and resilience, we will continue advancing together and achieve our CommonSpirit vision to create a healthier future for all. •
Memory Care Education Partnership
CHI Living Communities has joined with Dignity Health Global Education to create a robust memory care program. This program is a 10-module 30-hour course that focuses on both the employee and resident and guides them through everyday interactions. It includes evidence-based practices and supports care using the latest research in dementia/Alzheimer’s care. The course goes above and beyond by further supplying strategies and tips on how the employee can take care of themselves while displaying care excellence daily.
