Canadianizing the Creating Conversations Dementia Activity Toolkit to Improve the Quality of Life of Those with Dementia

This research project is designed to help better meet the social, emotional, physical, and health needs of persons with dementia, as well as to assist caregivers in providing person-centred care. A Canadianized version of a toolkit will be developed to aid caregivers by giving them fun and interesting conversation starters and activities. Interns will assist in the initial data gathering phase to determine how to Canadianize the existing UK dementia toolkit, and assist during the pilot and evaluation phases to determine if the Canadianized toolkit improves the quality of life of those with dementia who participate in the project.
The partner organization’s network will benefit from this research project by utilizing the outcomes to increase their knowledge and support capacity to enhance care and the quality of life of persons with dementia.
