QCC Grantees Provide Project Updates
Check out www.qualitycareconnections.org for Latest Information from Five Grant Sites

If you haven’t checked it out, be sure to log on to www.qualitycareconnections.org to check out the progress of our five J&J grantee sites. Early in 2008, the Johnson & Johnson/RCI Caregivers Program was renamed Quality Care Connections. RCI’s Director of National Initiatives, Laura Granberry, created a web site especially for the grantees, so that they could post updates on all of their Alzheimer’s Caregiving projects.

We will keep the site up-to-date with progress reports, downloads, blogs, lessons learned, photos, interviews, and more from each grant site. We invite you to log on and learn form the experiences of these grantees, which are all taking evidence-based research and implementing caregiving programs for those who care for Alzheimer’s patients.

RCI staff members have visited two of the five grants sites and hope to visit the remaining three before the next newsletter. It was very exciting to get an up close and personal view of how these programs are enhancing the lives of caregivers.
