The National Council of
Certified Dementia Practitioners® was
formed in 2001 by a group of professionals
with varying work and personal experiences
in the field of dementia care. Their backgrounds
include Nursing, Psychiatry, Therapeutic
Recreation, Social Services, Long Term
Care Administration, Elder Law, and Home
Care Administration. The Council was formed
to promote standards of excellence in dementia
education to professionals and other caregivers
who provide services to dementia clients.
As the number of dementia cases continues
to increase nationally and worldwide, there
is a great necessity to insure that care
givers are well trained to provide appropriate,
competent, and sensitive direct care and
support for the dementia patient. The goal
of the Council is to develop and encourage
comprehensive standards of excellence in
the profession and delivery of dementia
care.
