Professional Caregiver Holistic Dementia Care™ Education and Training

Holistic Dementia Care™ emphasizes the integration of the mind, physical integrity of the body and the essence of the person. 

The program recognizes that a narrow focus on only memory care, neglects the fact that dementia affects mood, personality, physical functioning and related behaviors. As the diseases that cause dementia affect the brain and its function, programs of care need to mirror this process so as not to miss important areas of deficits and remaining strengths.

We don’t just teach dementia content; we educate staff about bridging the art and science of holistic care. Holistic Dementia Care™ training answers the “why” behind behavior and develops strategies to establish therapeutic care plans and dementia programs in an appropriate environment

Caregiving is the hardest and most rewarding service that many will provide. However, when providing care to those with dementia, relying on intuition and compassion is not enough. 

It’s important to learn how to integrate what science teaches us about the diseases that cause dementia with the unique needs of the person who has the disease.  

Holistic Dementia Care™ provides holistic and integrative approaches that will reduce difficult behaviors in the person while making caregiving easier. We offer science-based content coupled with practical strategies to improve the quality of life for the person and reduce the stress of the caregiver.

We provide:  

Our educational approach is a combination of didactic content training along with an experiential and integrated care planning process. We offer programs customized to meet the needs of organizations, individuals and families.
