Dementia is not just a medical condition; it’s a life-altering journey that affects individuals, families, and entire communities. For caregivers and professionals, the need for a deeper understanding and practical tools to support people living with dementia has never been more critical. At AGE-u-cate Training Institute, we’ve spent over a decade refining our approach to dementia care training, ensuring it meets the emotional and practical needs of those who rely on it most.
The need for effective dementia care training is underscored by the growing prevalence of dementia worldwide. Over 55 million people are living with dementia globally, and this number is expected to rise dramatically in the coming decades. Training isn’t just about imparting knowledge—it’s about fostering empathy, building communication skills, and creating environments where individuals with dementia feel respected and understood.
AGE-u-cate’s approach to dementia care training focuses on these critical elements, ensuring that caregivers and professionals gain not only practical skills but also a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Programs like Dementia Live® have redefined the way organizations address dementia care, creating transformative experiences that resonate deeply with participants.
At AGE-u-cate, we believe in experiential learning—immersive programs that allow participants to step into the shoes of those living with dementia. Our flagship program, Dementia Live®, offers a unique simulation experience that goes beyond traditional training methods. Participants gain firsthand insights into the sensory and cognitive challenges faced by individuals with dementia, fostering empathy and improving care strategies.
Over the past decade, Dementia Live has reached more than 2.5 million people worldwide, from family caregivers to healthcare professionals. The program’s impact extends beyond training sessions, sparking community-wide conversations about dementia awareness and creating lasting change.
Dementia Live empowers caregivers and communities by providing tools to better understand and support those with dementia. Here’s what makes it so impactful:
