Course Description:

Almost one in three home care clients have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementiarelated
disorders, which makes it essential for home health providers to have the necessary skills
to care for these clients. A person living with Alzheimer’s dementia will have unique needs at
different stages of the disease, and this course will help providers respond appropriately to those
needs. This course assists the home health provider in developing skills that will help support
family caregivers during the various stages of Alzheimer’s dementia. It is intended for home
health providers, including home health aides, nurses, physical therapists, occupational
therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers, case managers and others providing
direct care to those living with Alzheimer’s dementia in home health and hospice.
