How the AlzBetter training program works
AlzBetter Training is a membership program. Our membership provides you with all the tools you will need in order to prepare your entire staff to meet the basic needs required to care for a person with dementia. This includes the Dementia Foundations program that teaches the fundamentals of good dementia care and also provides access to our Private Forum where your staff can read about numerous topics that have been posted by others or ask their own question where our professional staff along with thousands of other users can help come up with solutions to your difficult problems.
Membership also provides you with the opportunity to purchase our Focused Training packages. These micro-learning lessons utilize the most up-to-date learning techniques and enable your caregivers the ability to go beyond the basics and learn the skills they will need for specific dementia-related behaviors. The skills can be learned in as little as 5 minutes and may include topics such as working with a patient who wanders or is agitated or won’t allow a caregiver into the home etc.
Packages are purchased to offer a specific number of caregivers or clients access to these Focused Training lessons each month. You pay only for the amount of people that will require training on a month-to-month basis.
Below is a chart of what is included in our membership along with the various packages.
