Course overview
This self-paced course prepares direct care workers and caregivers in residential and assisted living settings to support people living with dementia with skill, empathy, and confidence. Across six interactive modules, learners move beyond clinical knowledge into the practical, shift-ready techniques that transform daily caregiving into person-centered, dignity-driven care.
Through real-world scenarios, interactive simulations, and evidence-based practices, learners gain a deeper understanding of how dementia affects the brain, communication, behavior, and daily functioning. The course emphasizes that all behavior is communication and focuses on non-pharmacological approaches that reduce distress, strengthen connection, and improve quality of life for both residents and caregivers.
