Dementia communication training your night shift can finish too.
Refused care, repeated questions and exit-seeking happen at 3 a.m. as often as at noon. We build short, scenario-based modules from your policies and person-centered care language, so every shift practices the words that calm instead of escalate.
We reply within one business day.
Nurse aide in-service training in skilled nursing facilities must include dementia management training (42 CFR 483.95(g)(2)).
Assisted living dementia training rules are set by each state. NCAL’s 2025 Assisted Living State Regulatory Review found that 10 states changed direct care staff education and training requirements in 2025.

Our modules are designed to support these requirements. Your organization provides the supervision, keeps the records, and remains responsible for meeting them.
Why scripts beat slides for dementia communication.
Dementia communication is a skill you hear before you learn it. A slide that says “redirect calmly” doesn’t help a caregiver who’s never heard what calm redirection actually sounds like.
Modules that model real language, then let staff choose a response and hear the reasoning, give every shift the same approach, including the people who never make it to the daytime in-service.

Dementia communication training questions.
Does this replace state dementia certification?
No. State-required dementia training and certification stay in place. Our modules support your program alongside them.
Can it be in Spanish?
Yes, as a scoped add-on.
How short are modules?
Most run 3 to 7 minutes for the learner, so they fit into any shift.
Can we add our own resident-centered care language?
Yes. We write from your policies and the language your team already uses.
