Dementia Capable Care is a training and certification

the understanding of dementia and improve communica-
tion and care for persons with dementia. The training
introduces a best-abilities, person-centered approach to
caring for persons with dementia. Participants will learn
about the types and stages of dementia, communication
tools and techniques, the role of memory and function in
terms of a person’s best ability to function, behavior
management strategies, and supporting families and
caregivers.
Participants who complete the course and pass the
certification exam will receive a Dementia Capable Care
Specialist certification, sponsored by Crisis Prevention
Institute (CPI).
