CATE List

What is the CATE list?

Individuals and agencies on the CATE™ list are trained to assess, engage, validate, personalize and sensualize to provide care and create an environment that allows the individual to thrive despite their diagnosis.

A list of individuals and agencies who have trained or are accredited in Creating A Thriving Environment, a unique set of trainings modeled after the best in dementia and mental health care strategies.

CATE™ certified individuals have trained and have passed a certification review. Those accredited have had continued mentoring and oversight. Certification and accreditation are renewed annually.
