WHAT IS CLeAR?

CLeAR stands for the Call for Less Antipsychotics in Residential Care.

Our care home is one of more than fifty in British Columbia that has joined CLeAR to learn and test new processes to address the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and assess the medication needs of our residents.

This might include developing better processes to:

  • Get to know our residents better;
  • Make medication reviews more meaningful;
  • Improve the usefulness of care plans; and/or
  • Educate staff on alternatives to medications for addressing BPSD.

HOW LONG IS CLeAR?

CLeAR kicks off on February 2018 and continues until April 2019.
