Experience the CARES® online training difference for free. HCI makes Module 1 (Meeting Clara Jones – An introduction to Person-Centered Care) available to all AHCA/NCAL members for at no cost.

CARES® is easy to use, can be accessed from any computer, tablet, or mobile device, and can be started and stopped as often as users wish.
HealthCare Interactive’s CARES®
Dementia Basics™ module is recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association® for successfully incorporating the evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations in the following topic areas: Alzheimer’s and dementia, person-centered care, assessment and care planning, activities of daily living, and behaviors and communication.
CARES® training is unique because it also includes actual direct-care video “before and after” training with an easy-to-use, easy-to-remember approach to dementia care called the CARES® Approach (C-Connect, A-Assess Behavior, R-Respond, E-Evaluate, and S-Share). The CARES® Approach can be used in any situation, with any person with dementia, and at any stage of the disease.
After staff complete CARES® Dementia Basics, consider additional CARES online programs including:
