Educational Partnerships
We recognize the importance of education in continually improving the model of dementia care and are pleased to partner with educational institutions for learning enhancement, training and internship opportunities.
We invite you to review the following examples of some of our most recent educational partnerships:
Enhanced Care Partner Education Pilot Study
In our continuing goal to develop a best practice model of dementia care, McCormick Dementia Services is partnering with Western University and Behavioural Supports Ontario to conduct a pilot project for an enhanced education series for care partner of people with dementia. With the support of the McCormick Care Foundation, the FACET project — Family Care Partner Education and Training – involves studying the interaction between care partners and simulated dementia patients to discover new ways to engage in meaningful activity and to minimize or redirect agitated behaviours.
