Announcing the "BPC Approved" Badge
We're thrilled to announce the launch of the "BPC Approved" Badge, an icon signifying that a dementia caregiving program has passed the strict criteria required for inclusion in the Best Practice Caregiving database. The badge indicates that a program is one of the top dementia caregiving programs in the U.S.—vetted, proven, and ready for implementation in other delivery sites.
Read our Q&A with 3 experts on the BPC team to learn more about the badge, program criteria, methodology for inclusion and the vetting process.
If you're a developer or other professional within a BPC program, contact us for a marketing toolkit for the badge. It's filled with ready-to-use content, badge icons and other materials.
