Impact Learning brings you, for the first time, a USA and SA accredited and certified course in Dementia.
This grouped bundle course covers the below two bundles. Expand the blocks below to get an overview of each section.
This 4-module (4-hour) online training program provides caregivers with the core or “basic” information needed for dementia care. It focuses on person-centered care, the changes that happen to thinking skills as dementia progresses, how those changes impact behavior, and how to understand behavior as communication. It also includes an entire module on the CARES® Approach, an easy-to-remember approach to care for any person in any situation and at any level of dementia thinking decline. The letters in CARES stand for: C–Connect with the Person, A–Assess Behavior, R–Respond Appropriately, E–Evaluate What Works, and S–Share with Others.
This interactive program includes a variety of exercises and video clips of real people with dementia, CNAs, and other staff members. It has been described as the “best training program I’ve ever used” by hundreds of users. This program is ideal for staff at nursing homes and assisted living facilities (CNAs, nurses, supervisors, social workers, administrators, and activity directors; dietary, laundry, housekeeping, transportation, and security staff; and volunteers), home health organizations, hospice, adult day centers, governmental offices, and social service agencies, as well as for police, fire, and other first responders.

CARES® Dementia-Related Behaviour is a 4-module, 4-hour online training program that focuses on the behaviour of people with dementia that is hard to understand and difficult to respond to. Sometimes referred to as “challenging behaviour” or “inappropriate behaviour,” we use the term “dementia-related behaviour” as a person-centered, respectful term that does not put blame on the person with dementia.
The program contains thoughtful and effective ways to care for people with dementia when they are confused, frustrated, scared, or angry—and how to respond when the person yells, curses, hits, kicks, bites, or exhibits sexual behaviour. Knowing these new ways of caring can make the behaviour less severe, which can make caregiving less stressful and make life better for the person with dementia. The strategies used center around the CARES® Approach, HealthCare Interactive’s trademarked step-by-step approach to any situation with any person at any level of thinking decline. The modules use videos of real people with dementia, CNAs, and other staff members, plus interactive exercises and case studies to teach person-centered care.
This program is ideal for all employees at nursing homes: CNAs, nurses, supervisors, social workers, administrators, and activity directors, as well as dietary, laundry, housekeeping, security, and transportation staff. It can also be used in assisted living facilities, home health organisations, adult day programs, governmental and social service agencies, and by police, emergency medical personnel, and other first responders who need training beyond what is covered in the 4-hour “5-Step Method” program.

This 6-module, 6-hour online training program includes more in-depth topics and issues such as making a connection, eating and mealtime, pain recognition and management, wandering, falls, and eliminating restraints. Like our “5-Step Method” program, these modules use a variety of videos of real people with dementia, CNAs, and other staff members, plus interactive exercises and case studies to teach person-centered care.
This program is ideal for staff at nursing homes and assisted living facilities (CNAs, nurses, supervisors, social workers, administrators, and activity directors), home health organisations, hospice, adult day centers, governmental offices, and social service agencies, as well as for police, fire, and other first responders who need training beyond what is covered in our 4-hour “5-Step Method” program.

CARES® Activities of Daily Living is a 5-module, 5-hour online training program that focuses on activities of daily living (ADLs) across all levels of thinking decline, progressing from normal thinking to the first signs of dementia, all the way to late and end stages of the disease process. In each level of decline, specific strategies are presented for a variety of ADLs including bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, mouth care, and using the bathroom. Since a lot of the care you provide is direct and related to ADLs, these thoughtful and effective strategies can be used immediately with anyone for whom you provide care.
This program is ideal for nursing home staff members such as CNAs, nurses, supervisors, social workers, administrators, and activity directors. It can also be used in assisted living facilities, home health organizations, and adult day programs. Like all CARES programs, this training is based on the trademarked CARES® Approach to dementia care: Connect with the person, Assess their behaviour, Respond appropriately, Evaluate what works, and Share information with others.
