Created by a Licensed Nurse. Built for Home Care Business Owners.
Caregivers who don't understand dementia take behaviors personally, argue, and burn out. Dementia Care Essentials is a complete self-study course in what dementia does, how to talk so the client can follow, why behavior is a message, and what to do if a client goes missing. 6 lessons, 2 hours 30 minutes, with a final assessment and certificate.
What's inside
- Caregiver Workbook with 6 lessons: what dementia does, communication, behavior, personal care and daily routines, wandering and the missing client, and working with families
- Every lesson has a caregiver story, the teaching, "Say this, not that" examples, a scenario, practice activities, a reflection question, and a 5-question quiz
- Quiz answer key, plus a 10-question final assessment with answer key
- Supervisor Skills Check (agency only): a hands-on sheet where the supervisor watches the caregiver approach, communicate, and redirect, marks each step, and signs
- Completion Record for the personnel file, with the course title and training time already filled in
- A quick-reference "At a Glance" summary the caregiver keeps
- Certificate of Completion with Supervisor and Administrator signature lines
- Staff Training Tracker (Excel): track every caregiver's completed training, with refresher due dates that fill in automatically and overdue training highlighted
- A START HERE guide that walks you through setting up, assigning, scoring, and filing the course
- Editable Microsoft Word files. Add your agency name and logo; red fields show what to fill in
Why it works
Self-study, with supervisor sign-off built in. Each lesson stays at a caregiver's level and inside a non-medical role: observe, respond calmly, and report changes the same day. One purchase covers every caregiver at your agency.
Who it's for
Non-medical home care agencies training caregivers who work with clients living with dementia, before independent assignment and as a yearly refresher. Want all six core in-service topics? Get them together in the Annual In-Service Pack.
Training hours and approved-provider rules vary by state. The certificate documents training completed; it is not a state certification.
