To achieve accreditation, Masonicare at Mystic underwent Purple Flag’s rigorous application process, which consists of an audit, the implementation of 10 themed procedures, and Purple Flag for Dementia Care’s 60 practice recommendations. By doing so, Masonicare at Mystic has demonstrated compliance with performance standards to enhance the quality of services provided to their residents who live with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
The Purple Flag for Dementia Care™Governance Committee has been hard at work recently to generate awareness and growth of the accreditation. With the addition of Masonicare at Mystic as an accredited community, not only does it recognize the quality-of-care their residents receive, but it also adds another well-respected community as a credible advocate of the Purple Flag for Dementia Care™ program.
