We celebrate and pay tribute to Aberdeen Gardens Retirement Residence, recipient of a 2018 | 2019 AGE Recognition Award for GPA Leadership Excellence with distinction. These awards recognize the commitment of organizations that have implemented Gentle Persuasive Approaches (GPA) dementia education for staff with extraordinary effort and outcomes. But it’s not the size of the organization that counts in these awards, it’s the size of their commitment to GPA! Aberdeen is a small and cozy home with just 100 residents in the west end of Hamilton, Ontario. Its leadership and staff are stand-outs in their commitment to ongoing dementia education (including refresher sessions yearly) for all staff.
