CARES Late Stage Dementia Care Training is a 3-module (3-hour) extension of the CARES Program. It focuses on care strategies when residents are no longer able to perform basic activities of daily living, such as brushing their teeth, dressing themselves, or feeding themselves. The three modules focus on an introduction to dementia at the later stages, strategies for rethinking activities with late-stage residents, and training on effective toileting. This program incorporates the CARES Approach™, HealthCare Interactive’s trademarked step-by-step approach to any situation/any resident/any level of thinking decline.

• The program features multiple videos of real staff members, families, and residents in real situations.
• Staff can access the program anywhere, anytime—so night, weekend, and part-time staff members, as well as new hires, can be trained quickly, consistently, and without scheduling issues.
• It's also perfect for rural facilities, non profits, and other small organizations, which often lack access to high-quality training.
• CARES frees up administrators to focus on other mandatory, non-dementia training requirements.
