About the SeriesAs the number of older adults with dementia needing care increases, so does the need for well-trained care-givers who understand the unique aspects of their disease and have the skills and knowledge to respond to their needs. This comprehensive educational program series is designed to improve the quality of the care given to persons with dementia. It consists of 12 different modules – nine webinars and three one-day hands-on work-shops. It can be attended in its entirety to earn a certificate of completion or individually for topics of specific interest. It is also designed for a variety of audiences within the aging services provider continuum in Minnesota’s care centers, adult day services and AL/HWS settings. © 2014 Aging Services of Minnesota and Alzheimer’s Association Minnesota-North Dakota

PurposeThe unfortunate reality is that there is no magic pill that will restore or prolong cognitive function in those who have been diagnosed with dementia. Instead, health care professionals make do with the medications that are available and hope that eventually researchers will come up with something better. In an attempt to make the best of what’s available and do the most for the person with dementia and his/her care partners, medications may sometimes be under prescribed, over prescribed or in combination with other medications that yield harmful side effects. This timely program will bring you up to date on the important trends in medication for people with dementia. The need for alternatives to medication will also be discussed.
Learning objectives• Identify when medications are most appropriately used in dementia care. • Refresh your knowledge of medications commonly used to treat people with dementia – including their benefits as well as side effects.• Become familiar with current medication research and what that is likely to mean for future treatment.• Know what you should be aware of to monitor side effects and reactions to medications your residents/clients with dementia are taking.
Suggested audience from care centers, AL/HWS settings and adult day services Direct care staff responsible for leading or training peers in dementia care; nurses; dementia program directors; and other staff interested in the topic

CEUsThis educational program has been designed to meet the continuing education criteria of the Minnesota Board of Nursing. Application is being made to the Minnesota Board of Examiners for Nursing Home Administrators for clock hour credits. Aging Services of Minnesota is an approved continuing education provider by the Minnesota Board of Social Work. General certificates of attendance will be issued, provided the CEU requirements are met and can be used by individuals to submit their own request for approval.
How CEUs are earnedAnyone wishing to earn CEUs for each program module in the series (webinars and workshops) must complete a post test for the program and earn a score of 70% or more. The post test will be sent to the organization’s webinar contact person following the webinar. Once the post test is completed, information on how to access the certificate of attendance will be sent to the individual requesting it.
About the Dementia Care Certificate Participants who successfully pass all the post tests from the 12 modules of the training will earn a certificate of completion – which demonstrates in-depth professional study of a particular topic area on a voluntary and individual basis. It does not denote certification or that someone is “certified” in dementia care. Questions on this may be directed to Heidi Simpson, Vice President of Educa-tion, Aging Services of Minnesota, [email protected]. Detailed information about the program’s CEU requirements may be found on Aging Services’ website and under the program’s information on the Events page at www.AgingServicesMN.org.
