Alzheimer’s Disease
The Alzheimer’s Disease course trains caregivers to recognize, understand, and compassionately respond to individuals living with Alzheimer’s. Over 45 minutes, caregivers learn to identify key signs, causes, and stages of the disease and understand how it affects memory, communication, and daily functioning. Through structured modules, learners explore how to spot early warning signs and cognitive changes, support safety and emotional comfort while promoting independence, communicate calmly and effectively during confusion or agitation, and observe, document, and report behavioral or functional changes accurately.
