Culture change in the Long-Term Care can be difficult for an
organization, it requires evaluation of what is not working and a collaborative
spirit to transform services and programs to best support residents.
The Culture Change Living Toolkit, created by Partnerships in
Dementia Care, part of the University of Waterloo’s MAREP program, is
intended for organizations undergoing a culture change process, particularly
organizations providing healthcare for persons with dementia. The toolkit includes a narrative description
of the culture change process, as well as exercises and activities that have
been designed to help groups move through the culture change process. The creation of this toolkit is ongoing, and
updated regularly. The Toolkit can be accessed
