Judy Wheeler Dementia Quotations

Our goal is to have all our staff trained in Alzheimer's dementia care by the end of 2006. And last but not least, we have an Alzheimer's Focus Group that meets weekly to discuss new ideas for our person-centered environment on the Unit.

We recognize on going education for staff is essential. We provide monthly in-services for staff on issues and concerns related to dementia continuing to focus on person centered and resident directed care. We also utilize information on the Internet. There are many sites that have information about new research, preventative measures and early detection of Alzheimer's disease.
