Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Staff Education Week

Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Staff Education Week is February 14-21. Each year, the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners uses this week to focus on increasing sensitivity and respect for people diagnosed with dementia. During this week, front line staff learn communication techniques and new approaches for helping patients with activities of daily living. 

One of the goals of the week is to help coordinate and promote advancements in the treatment of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. While the number of dementia cases is rising, the outlook continues to improve as more methods for treating and improving the quality of life for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Thanks to widespread scientific studies, we are continually deepening our understanding about dementia and Alzheimer’s. This gives the medical and caregiving communities better tools to help care for those with the disease. 

At Private Home Health Care, we are proud to say that our caregivers receive top-level training for caring for dementia and Alzheimer’s clients. Decades of experience has allowed us to perfect an individually tailored experience for your loved ones. We regularly provide community training and workshops for public education about dementia and Alzheimer’s. From day one, PHHC’s motto has been ‘Compassion is at the Heart of Our Care’, and indeed compassion is the foundation for Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease Staff Care Education.
