Dear NCCDP Executive Director Sandra Stimson,

Congratulations on being an industry leader in providing education tools in preparation for Alzheimer's and Dementia Staff Education Week Feb. 14 to 21, 2010. Last year your tool kit covered education for beginners, caregivers and support groups. NCCDP has done all the work for those who provide education including power point in-services, information sheets and disease specific information and resources. Thank you for raising the standards of care by providing quality education.

Sandra,

I just had a chance to get on the NCCDP website and check out the workshops. They are outstanding! I look forward to offering them in my area.   NCCDP does a wonderful job keeping me abreast with what is going on in the field of dementia research and intervention techniques. Your services have proven invaluable to me. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

Denise Scruggs, Director
Beard Center on Aging at Lynchburg College

This will remain a free service until March 2010. Please take the time to complete the evaluation for the Tool Kit as we appreciate your input and your opinions and suggestions will help us in revising the tool kit for next year. Please let us know if there are specific in-services you are looking for and we will consider that topic for next year. We hope you are pleased with the power point in-services. We have added you to our newsletter database. If you are interested in visiting our newsletter archives, please click here.  http://www.nccdp.org/newsletter.htm. Thank you.

Tool Kit

The newest component of the NCCDP is Alzheimer’s and Dementia Staff Education Week Tool Kit. The Tool Kit is available at www.nccdp.org. The Tool Kit and the declaration by the NCCDP Alzheimer's and Dementia Education Week February 14th to the 21st was developed and implemented to bring awareness to the importance of staff educators being trained and certified in dementia care and to provide education by means of face to face interactive classroom environment and to provide comprehensive dementia education to all healthcare professionals and line staff.

Currently there are no national standards for dementia education. The regulations are different from state to state. The NCCDP recommends at minimum an initial 8 hours of dementia education to all staff. Through out the year, additional dementia education should be provided that incorporates new advances, culture change and innovative ideas.

In addition to facilitating the Train the Trainer programs, The NCCDP promotes dementia education and certification of all staff as Certified Dementia Practitioners (CDP®). The NCCDP recognizes the importance of trained and educated dementia unit managers and certifying the Dementia Unit Manager as Certified Dementia Care Manager (CDCM®). Front Line First Responders need comprehensive Dementia training and the NCCDP provides Alzheimer’s and Dementia training to First Responder educators and certification as Certified First Responder Dementia Trainer.

The tool kit includes:

  • Free Power Point / Over Head In-services for Health Care Staff, Tests and Answers, Seminar Evaluation and Seminar Certificates

POWER POINTS PRESENTATIONS and supporting hand outs, tests and answers, and certificates include....
