Alzheimer Certification and Training for our Caregivers

Once again we are delighted to be partnering with the Alzheimer Society to offer caregivers of Eldercare Home Health Enhanced Training for Formal Caregivers of Persons with Dementia.

This 9 hour course uses a person centred approach to care, the goal of this comprehensive program is to enhance the knowledge and understanding of dementia of front line workers, enabling them to provide quality care for persons with dementia.

Many of our caregivers have successfully completed this certificate course. They have provided positive feedback about their ability to apply new learning to their everyday practice. Our next classroom is scheduled to begin in April.

Social Work Clinic Day at North York General Hospital

We were pleased to be part of the March 3rd special learning opportunity offered by Social Workers at North York General Hospital. Their speaker, Brigette Kitchen, was very well received. The event attracted about 75 participants and included those practicing at the Branson site - the lecture was shared by webcam broadcast.

Attendees at both sites enjoyed a buffet lunch, received lootbag gifts and entered to win the latest book by Jack Lalanne - Live Young Forever.

We lunched, we learned, and caught up with colleagues. What a productive lunch hour!
