University Collaborations
Our communities contribute to the larger field of senior living and aging by fostering a collaborative environment where we embrace and actively engage with research institutions to support creation and innovation. Our shared experiences in enrichment, creativity, exploration and continuing education allow us to offer ideas and solutions to improve senior care and shed light on innovative programs and activities. The well-being and dignity of older adults is at the forefront of all we do.
Elder Care Alliance has partnered with California College of the Arts Center for Art and Public Life since the Fall of 2012. Through this partnership, individual art interns have completed a wide variety of projects with us through the student-run design studio as well as their mural arts class. We have gone on to hire several students into long-term and contract work with us and have also continued in relationship with the students for years.
We have hosted masters and doctoral level research from the art therapy departments, first at Notre Dame de Namur and then at Dominican University of California. We’ve also served as an internship site for art therapy students.
ECA combines internships and special projects from UC Berkeley, San Francisco State, UCSF, and Holy Names.
