Dementia Specialist Training

There will be another open Dementia Specialist Training series soon. Please contact Mary Salzieder, Training Coordinator (608.232.3402) if you are interested in this or any professional training opportunities for your staff.

Professional caregivers in assisted living, nursing homes, adult family homes and in-home care can become specialists in caring for persons with dementia and give their organization a reputation for quality care and excellence that will set the bar for others in the field.

The program, which promotes state of the art person-centered care and best practices, does so through creative and interactive learning experiences to help all participants get the most out of this training. You will have opportunities to experience the world from the point-of-view of someone with Alzheimer’s dementia; real-life practical skills and ways to apply those skills; problem-solving techniques to assist with challenging behaviors; and tips and tools to increase success and make caregiving even more satisfying.

Cost is $100/person. Direct-care staff employed by a nursing home may be eligible for a scholarship.
