LeadingAge Wisconsin has launched the unprecedented Dementia Care Designation System™. This assessment is comprised of 5 modules that, in collaboration, contribute to a holistically positive and supportive care environment for persons living with dementia and their families. After completing the assessment, the facility could earn one of three different designations:

Dementia Supportive™: the care community knows, understands, and supports persons living with dementia.

Dementia Capable™: the care community provides specific approaches that support and care for persons living with dementia.

Dementia Specific™: the care community is dedicated to a holistic philosophy that embraces and fosters individualized dementia-centered care and support.

To see our growing list of Dementia Care facilities, please visit: https://www.leadingagewi.org/about-us/member-network/dementia-care-facilities/dementia-care-all-facilities

For the participating facility’s benefit, this tool is intended to both highlight the dementia care services in which a facility might be excelling along with the areas in which a facility could grow and expand. For consumers, families, and the greater community, this assessment strives for excellence within the aging services industry to best support and provide the utmost quality of care to individuals living with dementia.

The Dementia Care Designation System™ presents an opportunity to raise the standard for what “dementia care community” means when a provider is advertised as such to the public. The ultimate goal of this tool is to offer a better means to objectively measure the reasons underlying why a facility can market their supports and services as quality dementia care with a more transparent and accountable system for consumers and families to trust.
