The I’m Still Here^® Experience

Memory Care Certification Options

Organizations that complete comprehensive certification training in the I’m Still Here® approach are awarded the designation as an “I’m Still Here® Center of Excellence.”  

Certified organizations also derive enormous benefit from our re-certification process. Each year, on the anniversary of a completed certification, Organizational Partners have the option to maintain their I’m Still Here® Center of Excellence designation by participating in a Quality Assurance Evaluation. This on-site assessment is conducted annually to ensure the I’m Still Here® approach is being applied consistently at all of our Centers of Excellence.

The Hearthstone Institute offers two options for certification of Memory Care Programs in the I’m Still Here®  experience: the efficient Silver package which includes all the basic modules and embedding described below; and the comprehensive Gold package which provides additional embedding visits and advanced training.
