Professional Dementia Caregiver Training
Do you employ dementia caregivers? Are you a self-employed dementia caregiver?
At DAWN, we have customized dementia caregiver training programs—for organizations such as in-home health agencies, memory care, senior care facilities, hospitals and hospice providers—and for healthcare professionals who work for themselves.
Benefits:
- Lower staff turnover
- Increased billing rates
- Fewer risk incidents
- Increased job satisfaction.
Our online dementia certification course in strength-based dementia care is available to organizations for training their supervisory and floor staff, as well as to self-employed caregivers looking for greater expertise. Our dementia certification courses are available as either self-study (for self-employed professionals) or as workshops facilitated by your supervisory staff.
