Epoch Launches New Dementia Training Program Aimed at Younger Residents With Higher Needs

Nov 6, 2024

Epoch Senior Living is rolling out a new training program for all memory care staff in an effort to provide better care to residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

The company announced at the end of October the expansion of dementia training for all employees within its 11 Bridges and 5 Waterstone Senior Living memory care communities.

Christine Brooks, executive director of the Bridges by Epoch at Sudbury. A longtime senior living employee of 24 years and certified dementia trainer, said that the company’s move stemmed from the fact that “there were very few staff members [who] were certified dementia practitioners.”
