Dementia Care Certification Course

Single-User Version

From the world-renowned Copper Ridge Institute comes a modular training program that certifies health care professionals in dementia care. Ideal for training and orientation at long-term care facilities or educational institutions, this program clarifies what dementia is, how it differs from normal aging, and the types and causes of dementia. The program provides an overview of common behavioral problems associated with dementia and presents strategies and approaches for dealing with these problems. Finally, the program offers insight into why people with dementia may behave in erratic ways, and affirms these patients' humanistic value despite such challenging behavior.
