This half-day seminar, originally developed for staff of skilled nursing and assisted living facilities to meet the initial training requirements mandated by the State of Illinois, covers the basics of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. It is intended for any professional who provides care in community-based or residential care settings. Participants receive information, techniques, and tools on four topics:

  1. Understanding dementia
  2. Communication skills
  3. Creative responses to challenging behaviors
  4. Activity-based care. Anyone interested in a person-centered approach to dementia care will benefit from participation.
