Partnership in Dementia Care Alliance:

Assessing the process of culture change in dementia care within diverse long-term care settings

The Partnerships in Dementia Care Alliance (PiDC) is a collaborative research project focused on improving the dementia care experience for staff, residents and family members in long term care. In 2009, the principle investigators, Dr. Sherry Dupuis (Director of the Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program at the University of Waterloo) and Dr. Carrie McAiney (Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neurosciences at McMaster University) received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and over fifty different researchers, organizations and associations to undertake this project and join an Alliance of partners working together to enhance dementia care together.
