Administrators,
directors, nurses and other long term care staff interested in quality dementia
care are encouraged to register for a facilitated intensive training
session

implement the CMS- and AHCA/NCAL-recommended CARES® online training
program within your organization. At the

This
unique learning opportunity at the 68th Annual AHCA/NCAL Convention and Expo in Las Vegas is back this year by popular
demand. Attendees will complete the CARES®

session is a great way to help skilled nursing centers develop dementia
specific educational programs that can help demonstrate staff competency in
quality dementia care as part of the new staff competency assessments that will
be required under Phase II of the CMS Requirements of Participation (RoP) taking
effect this November. Specialized
training will be one way surveyors will determine if caregivers have the
competencies necessary to deliver quality and individualized care.

people living with dementia, their families, professional caregivers, and
dementia experts (no actors). In
addition, this session will offer unique networking opportunities to learn from
your dementia care colleagues from across the nation.
