Dementia and Memory Care for Nursing Assistants

Online training for working nursing assistants (CNAs, nurse aides, patient care techs and restorative aides) in memory care and long-term care: understanding dementia, person-centered communication and validation, preventing and calming responsive behaviors without drugs, wandering and elopement, falls, dignity in bathing, dining and toileting, abuse prevention and reporting, and supporting families. About 3.5 hours, self-paced, with a downloadable competency validation kit and a certificate of completion.

This course earns an ITC certificate of completion. It is not a state-approved nurse aide training program, it does not change your scope of practice, and it does not promise a job or a raise. Your facility validates your skills and decides whether these hours count toward annual in-service.
