Mishawaka, September 2021- Center for Hospice Care (CHC) – a not-for-profit, community-based organization is pleased to announce the certification of 51 employees who have completed specialized training to advance their knowledge of end-of-life dementia care. The goal is to have 75 staff members trained by the end of the year. These staff members are now certified as End-of-Life Dementia Care Professionals (EDCP). This training seminar was provided to Center for Hospice Care by the Institute for Excellence in Memory Care and their parent company, REAL Services and is approved by the Indiana State Board of Health Facility Administrators.
By completing this curriculum and earning this certification, Center for Hospice Care staff can offer superior memory care to their patients. For instance, non-verbal indicators of pain require special training to recognize and interpret. CHC staff can better comprehend and verbalize the unique needs for those living with Alzheimer’s and other Dementia diseases as well as identify dangers and areas of risk for caregivers.
Center for Hospice Care also owns Milton Adult Day Services which is temporarily located at 3607 Grape Road in Mishawaka. As part of their commitment to serve current and future area residents struggling with all neurological issues including Alzheimer’s and Dementia, they are repurposing their previous Roseland facility into Care Connections Center at Milton Village later this year. Unique in concept and design, the facility incorporates input from world-renowned dementia care experts and will be able to care for up to 60 clients daily. The completely remodeled facility will also be the new home for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Services of Northern Indiana, The Institute for Excellence in Memory Care as well as numerous resources for caregivers. More information, including daily rates and payment options, can be found at MiltonADS.org.
