About this Event

Welcome to the Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Seminar!

Join us for an informative session at the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago/Tinley Park.

This 8-hour seminar is an excellent opportunity for healthcare professionals looking to enhance their expertise in Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia care. As the required training for certification through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP), it provides an in-depth understanding of dementia and equips participants with the necessary skills to deliver high-quality, compassionate care.

The seminar's curriculum emphasizes person-centered care, a transformative approach that focuses on the individual rather than solely on the condition. Through the seminar, participants will learn how to adapt care practices to meet the unique needs and preferences of each patient. This approach encourages a deep respect for the dignity and individuality of people living with dementia, fostering a more compassionate and supportive care environment.
