Key to reducing off-label antipsychotic use is having staff specifically trained in alternative approach to dementia-related behavior. CARES® has been proven to reduce the use of antipsychotics. CARES® trains your staff in the evidence-based CARES dementia 5-step method, a person-centered approach to dementia care, so that they know how to identify individual triggers, mitigate causes of behaviors, and intervene with non-pharmacological approaches that support each resident’s quality of life.
CARES® offers AHCA/NCAL members exclusive savings on all CARES® dementia training and certification programs for long term care professionals and staff members. CARES® is the only dementia care training to make extensive use of actual video footage of real residents and real staff members (no actors) for an authentic virtual training experience.
