Caregiver Skill Development

Caregiver Skill Development is hands-on, practical training designed to make everyday dementia care feel safer, smoother, and less intimidating. We focus on the skills you use most: helping with bathing and dressing while preserving dignity, assisting with meals, cueing for medications, managing incontinence, and responding to confusion or agitation.

As a nurse with over 20 years in geriatric and dementia care, we demonstrate techniques step by step, then coach you as you practice. You learn safer body mechanics to protect your back, ways to prevent falls, and communication approaches that reduce arguments and refusals. We also cover what to watch for that might signal infection, pain, or medication problems. Caregivers consistently say this training turns guesswork into confidence and makes them feel more like a capable partner in care rather than a constant "trial and error."
