Course Outline

This foundational course enables you to become a more confident caregiver for individuals living with dementia. When you purchase the Memory Care Mastery dementia care course for families, you will receive access to the entire curriculum:

Start with a warm introduction from Jen. You’ll gain a clear overview of what to expect throughout your learning journey and simple guidance on how to use the Written and Video Curriculum effectively.

Watch Herb, a heartfelt short film that offers a moving glimpse into the reality of dementia. The film highlights the importance of empathy and understanding, preparing you to approach the rest of the course with compassion.

Gain a clear understanding of how dementia impacts memory – beginning with short-term forgetfulness and gradually affecting long-term memories and daily routines. You’ll also learn practical strategies and why entering into a person’s moment, rather than correcting them, is vital for compassionate care.

Learn how dementia affects balance, depth perception, and the ability to perform everyday activities. We’ll cover practical ways to reduce fall risks, encourage safe mobility, and respectfully assist with tasks and meaningful activities that bring comfort and dignity without compromising safety.

Discover how memory loss can impact mood, behaviors, and the overall outlook of someone you love. This module delves into practical strategies for recognizing shifts in personality, responding with empathy, and nurturing meaningful connections even as these changes arise.

This section helps families and caregivers understand that these behaviours are a result of the disease – not the person- and equips you to handle them with empathy. You’ll gain practical tips for responding with patience, setting gentle boundaries, and redirecting conversations to reduce discomfort.

Learn how emotional intelligence and cognitive processing work together and how dementia can impact both. We’ll explore what “emotional memory” means and see practical examples of how daily tasks and emotions are influenced by cognitive processing, helping you better support loved ones with dementia.

In this chapter, you’ll be introduced to the Video Curriculum, where key areas of dementia care are covered in an accessible way. Topics include understanding a resident’s reality, responding with compassionate care, managing agitation and exit-seeking behaviors, using redirection techniques.  and more.
