- Incorporating life stories and important possessions into care and support
- Creating opportunities for meaningful engagement, regardless of ability

Why One Day?
- The education is unique because it was co-developed with people living and working in senior living settings, and subject matter experts in education, facilitation and culture change.
- The course is action-focused: Learners will identify four ways to immediately implement a person-centred approach to care in their work and two ways to share this knowledge with their team.
“Information provided will help me be the best for all of my residents and team members. I love the fact that all professions are able to pull from the resources provided to implement into care plans throughout homes.” -Recreation Aide
“I like that the modules look at the person-centred care focusing on the elements of care, support for that individual on a whole and the treatment that matters most to the individual.” – Personal Support Worker
