Two Sun Health life plan communities are receiving a big designation for dementia care.
Surprise’s The Colonnade and Grandview Terrace in Sun City West are the firsts in Arizona to achieve Dementia Capable Care Workforce Leader designation from Dementia Care Specialists at Crisis Prevention Institute.
The Crisis Prevention Institute offers the recognition to organizations that are committed to creating a dementia capable workforce by using Dementia Capable Care training.
Provider organizations must ensure that at least 75% of their direct care staff and care managers are trained in one or more of the approved Dementia Capable Care programs to be eligible.
“Sun Health is willing to go the extra mile to deliver the best possible care because they truly care about people living with dementia,” said Kim Warchol, president and founder of Dementia Care Specialists at CPI. “Sun Health is focused on more than just getting the job done — they have a genuine passion for their mission, and it shows.
Nonprofit Sun Health was founded in 1966 and is now comprised of Sun Health Foundation, Sun Health Wellness and Sun Health Communities. The Colonnade and Grandview Terrace at Sun Health, are life plan communities that offer older adults a refined, maintenance-free lifestyle distinguished by premium amenities, curated social programming and exceptional dining experiences.
Other Sun Health life care communities are La Loma Village in Litchfield Park and Freedom Plaza in Peoria. It also offers Sun Health at Home, the first “Life Care at Home” program offered in the Southwestern U.S.
“At Sun Health, we envision a world where people live longer, healthier and more purposeful lives and we are committed to providing the highest level of care so that our residents can thrive,” said Kim Thompson, chief experience officer of Sun Health. “The DCC Workforce Leader designation aligns perfectly with our philosophy and vision and we are excited for both our residents and our care partners to reap the benefits of such a great program.”
