The College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of Alberta (CRPNA) commends Alberta Health and all its partners in the development of the “Alberta Dementia Strategy and Action Plan” which is available online to the public.  CRPNA was happy to read that the plan includes a collaborative approach to dementia and recognizes that dementia affects more than those just living with the disease. CRPNA has participated in Alberta’s Health Consultation on the review of continuing care regulations which include the nursing home operation regulation, the nursing home general regulation and the coordinated home care program regulations, to identify barriers to having appropriate care providers to address the system changes needed to ensure high quality dementia care and services.
