On Friday, January 14, The Purple Flag Governance Committee in partnership with the Connecticut Assisted Living Association recognized The Greens at Greenwich with the Purple Flag for Dementia Care™ accreditation. The Greens at Greenwich is the first Purple Flag accreditation awarded in 2022 and becomes the fifth community overall to be awarded accreditation.

The Greens at Greenwich demonstrated excellence in the field of memory care and extraordinary commitment in their successful Purple Flag accreditation submission,” said Christopher Carter, CALA President. “With this announcement, The Greens at Greenwich join a growing number of provider organizations who embrace best practices and aspire to excellence in the field of memory care.”

Purple Flag Accreditation Standards

Accreditation is accomplished through:

  • Enhanced Staff Education in Dementias and Dementia Care
  • Demonstration of a Commitment to Best Practices and Excellence in Memory Care
  • Self Attestation to Statements of Quality Contained in the Practice Recommendations of the Alzheimer’s Association (2018) and Additional Standards of Practice

Several other Purple Flag applications are currently pending as are submissions for accreditation by other providers in the state; therefore it is expected that other accreditation awards will take place during the year. The growth with that the Purple Flag for Dementia Care™ is showing will result in broader recognition of the Purple Flag brand and enhancements to quality for those living with dementia in the coming year.
