MILWAUKEE—Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) announced the launch of its new Dementia Capable Care Learning Library, an online continued learning solution to help organizations develop a dementia capable workforce, delivering evidence-based, person-centered dementia care.
The on-demand learning library allows staff across health care, senior living, memory care, homecare and hospice organizations to develop and sustain essential dementia care skills.
Built by CPI's Dementia Care Specialists team, the company said the library features short, flexible courses aligned with CPI's Dementia Capable Care (DCC) training approach, which emphasizes preserving dignity, reducing distress and improving quality of life for people living with dementia.
"We know the demand for dementia-capable care is rising across all settings," said Tony Jace, CEO of CPI. "This new online library makes it easier for organizations to empower their staff with practical, person-centered strategies that improve outcomes for people living with dementia and their families."
