Gentle Persuasive Approaches in Dementia Care (GPA®)
GPA is a multi-disciplinary evidence-based dementia care curriculum that equips point-of-care providers and students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to apply a respectful, person-centred approach when interacting with older adults with dementia. To date, Advanced Gerontological Education (AGE), developer of GPA, has trained 3,074 GPA Certified Coaches who have gone on to deliver the program to almost 300,000+ healthcare providers and students in more than 1,700 Canadian organizations.
Together, we are enhancing the care of older Canadians. Thank you VON Assisted Living Services in Ontario’s Central East LHIN for your ongoing passion and commitment to GPA’s person-centred model of care.
