"I implore you—whether you are a health care professional, a person with dementia, a friend or a family member of a person with dementia—to demand the training and education essential to ensuring the physical and emotional health, function, and safety of persons with Alzheimer's and related dementias." —Kim Warchol
Dementia Care Specialists
Total solutions for dementia care providers
Our mission is to create a
dementia-capable society built on the knowledge that
persons with dementia can feel joy, fulfillment, and love. We do this by offering a person-centered approach to training and consulting for those living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias (ADRD) and other cognitive challenges. As a result, clients and their families experience a higher quality of life, caregivers find more job satisfaction, and providers improve their business results.
Will You Join Us?
You have the passion and heart to make a difference in the lives of those you care for. But
caring isn’t enough. You need the skills and training to fulfill your commitment to a higher quality of care and see your clients thrive, not just survive. Discover what you and your facility could benefit from when partnering with us:
Our Dementia Capable Care training helps your entire dementia care team work together more cohesively and consistently to deliver a higher standard of dementia care. We offer one- and two-day training options for therapists and care partners, and a three-day train-the-trainer program. When this compassionate, results-oriented approach is embraced and implemented, staff attitudes shift, confidence soars, and quality of life improves for dementia clients and their families.
With extensive experience in cognitive habilitation and memory care, we offer expertise to help dementia care professionals, therapy providers, home health agencies, adult day care, and long-term care facilities achieve their goals. Available to consult on a wide range of projects, we help improve professional skills, enhance programs or services, work in concert with all stakeholders to develop a state-of the-art memory care facility, and much more.

We offer valuable industry recognition for achieving specific standards in dementia care. Our recognitions motivate and reward individuals and publicly acknowledge and celebrate facilities who reach high levels of memory care expertise. Recognitions include Distinguished Provider for a facility, Dementia Capable Care Therapist (DCCT) for an OT, PT, or SLP professional, and Dementia Capable Care/Care Partner (DCCCP) for all dementia practitioners (nurse, administrator, aides, etc.).
