Long term care organizations can now build a core team
of dementia specialists within their organizations at an affordable price.
Train and credential key members of your staff with the CARES® Dementia
Specialist™ (C.D.S.) professional credentialing program. Then,
when an issue occurs with one of your residents with dementia, staff can direct
questions to your on-site CARES Dementia Specialists.
Each member of your team completing the C.D.S. will
learn quality dementia care strategies based upon the Alzheimer’s Association’s
new Dementia Care Practice Recommendations.
Having caregivers who are credentialed
dementia specialists translates to a far more efficient and effective dementia
care team and reduces staff reliance on licensed nurses to solve the
repetitious questions and issues that arise daily when providing care to
residents with dementia.
By completing the CARES Dementia Specialist
training programs, submitting their documentation, passing a required 100-point
online C.D.S. credentialing exam, and being approved, staff members will be
able to use the C.D.S. credential after their name, on their resume, or on a
business card. Staff members will also be placed on a national registry
of people who earn and hold a current C.D.S. credential.
The C.D.S. curriculum consists of 32 hours of online,
video-based person-centered dementia care education. Once activated, individuals have 10-day access
to each of the six required courses (courses range from 4 to 10 hours).
The C.D.S. courses include:
- CARES® Dementia Basics™
- CARES® Dementia-Related Behavior™
- CARES® End-of-Life Dementia Care™
- CARES® Dementia Advanced Care™
- CARES® Activities of Daily Living™
- CARES® Dementia Care for Families™
