FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Gold Renewal Policy for Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® Credentialing
[Solon, OH] – We at Center for Applied Research in Dementia (CARD) have been faced with a good problem. The number of Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® (MIL) communities has grown significantly over the past few years as more communities discover the transformative power of Montessori for dementia. We are extremely proud of our communities as we’ve witnessed their steadfast commitment to residents through the years. To ensure Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® principles and practices remain in effect within Gold credentialed communities as our network grows, and maintain the integrity of the credential, all new Gold Site Credentials will be active for a 2-year period.*
Communities will be required to renew their Gold credentials starting July 1, 2024 through the renewal application process that can be viewed HERE.
Our communities agree that the quality of their MIL programs is incredibly important. Most of our communities appreciate a regular check-in from our team, which this process provides. Once a community’s credential is renewed, they will receive a certificate and badge displaying the new award period, and an updated listing on our website directory to show prospective and current families and residents that they have been recently verified.
For questions about the new policy or how you can bring the program to your community, reach out to Vince Antenucci at vince@cen4ard.com.
Each year we inch closer to a revolution in true person-centered care, and our communities are at the heart of it, bringing inspiration to us and memory care communities around the world.
As Dr. Camp always says, “Onward and upward!”
*Whether a community has already earned a Gold credential or are on a path to earn one, if they signed a contract with us prior to July 1, 2024, they will be considered “grandfathered” in. Read the last paragraph of the policy to understand what this means.
