January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month 💜

This is a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and deepen understanding of dementia and its impact on individuals and families.

At Elim Village, ongoing staff education supports compassionate, person-centred care. Staff take part in dementia-focused training that builds understanding of how dementia affects individuals, and how to respond with empathy and respect.

This includes in-depth education, as well as experiential learning opportunities—such as virtual dementia education—designed to help staff better understand the lived experience of dementia.

This month, and every month, we remain committed to supporting those living with Alzheimer’s.
