Crisis Prevention Institute Case Study

DeSano Place Inc (Idaho) and Dementia Capable Care Training

Introduction

This case study of DeSano Place Inc is based on a September 2016 survey of Crisis Prevention Institute customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service.

“I had an exceptionally well-trained instructor who gave relevant, practical, and hands-on information, which was very useful for the staff I manage.”

“DCS has improved staff skills in promoting positive behavioral responses with clients.”

“DCS gives our facility a competitive edge, which yields a solid marketing advantage.”

“Our staff are more confident and far less fearful of our residents with dementia when they receive the Dementia Capable Care training. Families notice the positive interactions that staff display with their loved ones, and behavior reporting has dropped drastically, which tells me that staff are using appropriate approaches in working with residents. This in turn reduces the workload for EVERYONE and reduces headaches for management!”
