About CARES® Dementia Care for Families

This award-winning training and certification program was developed for family members or friends caring for a loved one with memory loss or dementia. Like our other CARES® products, this program centers around the 5-step CARES® Approach and offers many practical and invaluable strategies to common caregiving situations, challenges, and concerns. It is rich with videos featuring family caregivers, family members living with dementia, and dementia experts.

CARES® Dementia Care for Families was funded in part by a grant from the National Institute on Aging, was developed in conjunction with the National office of the Alzheimer’s Association, and guided by a national team of experts.  

“CARES” stands for:

C – Connect with the Person
A – Assess Behavior
