MOTIVATE at Home Program
MOTIVATE stands for Maine’s Oral Team Based Initiative: Vital access to education. This free program reaches a new audience of caregivers/care partners of older adults that reside at home. The content of this program was modified from a similar, existing evidence-based program for the health care team in nursing homes. The results of that program are now published in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry.
​
The MOTIVATE at Home program provides free education, information, and tips. The program teaches older adults, caregivers, and health care professionals the importance of oral health and what their role can be for promoting oral health for their older adult living at home, even if they don’t provide hands on care. Older adults have unique needs that put them at greater risk and oral health is overlooked.
​
This program was funded by the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health.
​
The majority of the program is available online offering 24/7 access to education in the form of videos, tip sheets, audio recordings and oral health resources and tip sheets. The program also includes a quarterly live, zoom series titled Ask the Dental Expert which provides learners with face-to-face time with dental experts. ​
