Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders for Home Health Providers

Course overview

This training program has been approved by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs and is in compliance with Section 400.4785 (1)(f) FS. and rules 58A-8.001 and 58A.8.002, F.A.C. Almost one in three home care clients have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and dementia-related disorders, which makes it essential for home health providers to have the necessary skills to care for these clients. A person living with Alzheimer's dementia will have unique needs at different stages of the disease, and this course will help providers respond appropriately to those needs. This course assists the home health provider in developing skills that will help support family caregivers during the various stages of Alzheimer's dementia. It is intended for home health providers, including home health aides, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers, case managers, and others providing direct care to those living with Alzheimer's dementia in home health and hospice.
