Description

I want to thank NCCDP for developing the wide array of free staff training in-service materials that are available for team members working with residents with Alzheimer’s or Related Disorders. Working with individuals with Alzheimer’s in a care setting requires specialized knowledge, training, and skills. With this toolkit and in-service documents facilities are provided an opportunity to utilize quality materials to ensure greater competency in team members, and to enhance quality care and quality of life for residents receiving care.

The National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners®, LLC was formed in 2001 by a group of professionals with varying work and personal experiences in the field of dementia care. The Council was formed to promote standards of excellence in dementia and Alzheimer's education to professionals and other caregivers who provide services to dementia clients.

Goals are: - To provide fundamental education on dementia and dementia care - To enhance the quality of life of dementia patients through education care providers - Foster sensitivity and respect for the dementia client - To teach communication techniques - To provide sensitive approaches for assisting patients with activities of daily living.

Answer: Yes. We provide in the tool kit a sample certificate and sample evaluation. These documents are not locked so that you may modify them to fit your needs.

The newest component of the NCCDP is Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia Care Staff Education Week Tool Kit. The Tool Kit is available at www.nccdp.org. The Tool Kit and the declaration by the NCCDP Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Education Week February 14th to the 21st was developed and implemented to bring awareness to the importance of staff educators being trained and certified in dementia care and to provide education by means of face to face interactive classroom environment and to provide comprehensive dementia education to all healthcare professionals and line staff.
