The Cortland Northview is proud to celebrate the First Annual Validation Week, August 17–23.

Held with the Validation Training Institute, Validation Week recognizes the importance of compassion, connection, and person-centered dementia care. Its theme, “Meet Me Where I Am,” encourages caregivers and families to listen, understand, and validate each person’s feelings.

Throughout the week, The Cortland Northview will host activities that celebrate residents’ stories while helping families learn more about Validation.

Through Priority Life Care’s Along the Journey philosophy, Validation helps create meaningful relationships and moments of trust and comfort.
