Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Seminar

Welcome to the Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Seminar!

Join us for an informative session at the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago/Tinley Park.

This 8-hour seminar is an excellent opportunity for healthcare professionals looking to enhance their expertise in Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia care. As the required training for certification through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP), it provides an in-depth understanding of dementia and equips participants with the necessary skills to deliver high-quality, compassionate care.

The seminar's curriculum emphasizes person-centered care, a transformative approach that focuses on the individual rather than solely on the condition. Through the seminar, participants will learn how to adapt care practices to meet the unique needs and preferences of each patient. This approach encourages a deep respect for the dignity and individuality of people living with dementia, fostering a more compassionate and supportive care environment.

Info: Key elements of the seminar include:

• Comprehensive Overview of Alzheimer's and Related Dementias: Participants will gain a solid understanding of dementia, its stages, and how it impacts individuals.

• Effective Communication Strategies: Communication is a cornerstone of quality care. Participants will learn methods for improving interactions with people living with dementia, especially when verbal communication becomes challenging.

• Behavioral Approaches: The training will introduce strategies to address difficult behaviors by recognizing emotional cues and identifying unmet needs.

• Person-Centered Care: This aspect will empower participants to create individualized care plans that honor the person’s identity and preferences.

• Emotional Well-Being: The seminar will emphasize how fostering a connection between caregivers and patients enhances emotional well-being, encouraging positive relationships built on trust and understanding.
