💚 An Incredible Opportunity for Emery Place! 💚
We are so excited to share that Sara and Michael were honored to be chosen for scholarships and attend the Iowa Assisted Living Association Convention!
Today, they had the privilege of listening to a presentation by Dr. Joshua Freitas, PhD, and this is only the beginning of an incredible journey!
Over the coming months, Sara and Michael will participate in four specialized classes, along with one-on-one exam preparation and mentorship with Dr. Freitas, before sitting for their exams to become Board Certified Dementia Trainers! 🧠💚
This opportunity is about so much more than earning another certification. It’s about expanding our knowledge, strengthening the care we provide, and becoming an even greater resource for our residents, their families, our incredible staff, and fellow senior living professionals.
Dementia care is not just about understanding a diagnosis. It’s about understanding the person behind it, preserving dignity, supporting families, and empowering those who provide care every single day.
We are incredibly grateful for this scholarship and the opportunity to bring even more education, compassion, and expertise back to our Emery Place family and Better Living Team.
Because when we continue to learn, we continue to grow. And when we grow, the people we care for benefit most. 💚
