Dementia is Complex – Dementia Care Training Gives Staff Vital Tools to Support Residents

As memory care needs expand, and continue to flex to each resident’s specific requirements, it’s essential for caregivers to have the right tools and training to support residents with compassion, dignity, and expertise. Dementia is not a one-size-fits-all condition – it presents uniquely in each individual and changes over time. Staff must be equipped with current knowledge on behavioral approaches, communication strategies, and person-centered care so that residents feel secure and understood. Families, too, must know that their loved one is safe and well in the hands of professionally trained staff.

Good dementia care training fosters a deeper understanding of how to manage challenging behaviors, engage residents meaningfully, and reduce risk to both residents and staff – which contributes to a more supportive and stable care environment.

We provide dementia training to our staff at Eagle’s Nest upon hire and every 2 years after.
