Accountability to the Community

One of the operating principles of Alzheimer Calgary is to be accountable and responsible to the people we serve.

We are committed to efficient practices and the effective, sustainable stewardship of all assets entrusted to us.

This commitment is demonstrated in the accessibility of our day-to-day operational information and by the professionals we work with. As a charitable organization, we comply with all municipal, provincial and federal laws that govern our conduct and practices.

Staff accreditation: All staff members must obtain police security clearance and sign a confidentiality agreement.

Club 36 Adult Day Program: Follows the standards and guidelines developed for Adult Day Programs by Alberta Health Services, Calgary Zone. Staff are Certified Personal Care Attendants, Licensed Practical Nurses or Recreation Therapists and must have current first aid certification.

Affiliated professional codes of ethics: Staff members are often part of other professional associations with additional ethical and accountability standards, including:

• Alberta College of Social Workers
• Association of Fundraising Professionals
• College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta

Volunteer acceptance: Prospective volunteers are interviewed and screened based on the requirements of the positions. Some positions require a police security clearance, reference checks and a signed confidentiality agreement. To ensure volunteers have the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their role(s) effectively, we provide training for most volunteer positions.
