Why Organizations
Need Dementia Caregiver Training
Caregiving Facilities
Statistics are showing that more than 50% of residents in assisted living and nursing homes have some form of dementia or cognitive impairment, and this is expected to grow in the upcoming years.
Caring for those living with dementia or cognitive impairment is 2 times more stressful on caregivers than caring for people living without dementia. You're likely to see residents becoming more combative, angry, and confused without warning.
Caregivers find themselves having to come up with ways to protect the person being cared for as well as themselves. This can lead to many unhappy situations that the facility will have to deal with. We're here to help.
We teach "Positive Approach to Care (PAC)," a relationship-based approach to caregiving for individuals on the dementia journey.
Through our training, your caregivers will learn techniques that will help them to be more efficient and supportive of your residents. They will learn how to interact with them, which will create happier and less combative residents. Your families will see the difference and appreciate the level of care you provide. We offer training specific to your needs. Click here to view our training workshops.

Community Organizations
Often times a family member or close friend becomes a caregiver to someone living with dementia, however they do not have the training to do so. You have probably heard of people in your organization, church, or club talk about caring for their loved one and how difficult it is. Maybe you know they are taking care of their loved one and don't realize the stress and anxiety it is causing them. Many times the family or friend caretaker dies before the person they are caring for due to the unique challenges they face, especially as the disease progresses.
That's where we come in. We have the privilege of working with you to make caring for a loved one with dementia easier and happier for everyone.
Organizations, such as yours, can make dementia caregiving training available to their members or sponsor a community training to support individuals who care for family members. Click here to view our training workshops.
If this is something that you would like to investigate offering or being a sponsor, let's get on the phone and talk about how we can assist you in servicing your community.
Employers and Unions
Having a loved one who is not only aging but also showing signs of dementia can be devastating. The unknown, the decisions on how to care for someone living with dementia, and the cost of where and how to get them the care they need. It can be all-consuming.
As an employer or the head of a union, you know how important it is to have your employees present at the job, concentrating on doing the work
While they are deciding what to do, they often need to take time off, either through extended sick leave or unpaid time off. They may decide to try to care for their loved one when not working, which can lead to physical and mental breakdowns, leaving you with additional costs.
That's where we come in. Through our training and resources, we assist your employees in understanding dementia, exploring caregiving options, and learn how to interact with and support their loved ones. Offering our family caregiver training to your employees helps them make informed decisions that reduces stress, stay engaged at work, and boosts retention.
Companies or Unions can easily make dementia caregiving training available to their employees or members. If this is something that interests you, let's schedule a call to discuss how we can help you support your employees and members.
