Dementia care training helps caregivers understand these changes and learn approaches that prioritize the individual's needs, abilities, preferences, and dignity.

Providing care for someone with dementia can involve challenges beyond routine assistance with everyday tasks. An individual may forget instructions, become confused in familiar surroundings, repeat questions, or experience distress during personal care.
