Colorado CHCA Dementia Care Training

This 4-hour course meets the State of Colorado dementia training requirements for long-term care, assisted living, and adult day care providers. Training includes 2 sessions on strength-based care and 2 sessions on person-centered care competency.

The tools of the DAWN Method of dementia care: 1. Mood management, 2. Security in Confusion, 3. Security in Care, 4. Social Success, 5. Sense of Control, 6. Sense of Value, 7. Secure Future (in flower shape)

When I have the privilege of giving even glimpses of the DAWN method to a family, it’s as if they get to take a deep breath for the first time in a really long time.
