MOTIVATE at Home is a public oral health education program offered at no cost. It is ideal for care partners of older adults who reside in their homes. The program provides easy-to-use training on good oral health practices. This helps care partners provide the best possible care to their loved ones. And for those care partners who do not provide care, it will teach them how they can support good oral health for their loved one.
MOTIVATE at Home is much like our MOTIVATE program for health care staff. It raises awareness about the connection between oral health and total health, the unique oral health needs of older adults, provides education on common oral health problems, steps on how to clean and maintain teeth and dentures, and more.
Our team is very grateful to the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health for their visionary support of MOTIVATE at Home. Our next step is to seek partnerships and support to scale this program wider, including other states.
Our work helps educate people on the impacts that oral health can have on the human body.
