About professional training


The Alzheimer's Association is committed to helping professionals improve their knowledge and skills, build stronger teams and deliver better care to people with dementia and their families. Our training and education programs are geared to professionals working in both community-based and residential care settings.

Our programs and meetings have been attended by activity professionals, administrators, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers and staff trainers. Many of our programs offer CEUs.

Caregiver University™

Caregiver University™ Achievement Certificate Program in Alzheimer's care is a comprehensive training course developed to enhance the quality of long-term care for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease; to improve the care giving experience for the professional; to honor the person with dementia; and to create the highest quality of life. The approach emphasizes maximizing the abilities of persons with dementia rather than focusing on disabilities. Participants in this course come from a wide diversity of cultural groups, socioeconomic backgrounds and gender. Yet we all share a common interest in learning to relate in a more satisfying and effective manner. Who should attend?  Nurses, Long-Term Care staff, Activity Directors, Social Workers, Facility Administrators, Adult day Care staff, Adult Residential Care Home Staff, Care Managers, Home Health Aides, and staff developers.
