The Importance of Alzheimer’s Caregiver Training

In 2013, an estimated 5.2 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's disease and it’s crucial to know how to care for a patient stricken by this illness. It’s challenging for caregivers to be fully prepared for the progression of Alzheimer’s disease but the myCNAjobs online training course will help you understand what to expect over the course of the disease and how to deal with behavioural and physical changes that occur with disease progression. myCNAjobs is the online resource for caregivers created by industry experts, provides tools and resources to become professional caregivers and CNAs. The online certified caregiver training allows caregivers to take the course at their own pace. 

For only $25, you get access to over 80 online training modules offering the basics required to meet state requirements in many states across the country. 

Caregiver training modules include:

• Memory Loss and Aging
• Getting a Diagnosis
• Learning to Communicate
• Daily Care Skills
• Helping Families Cope
• Environment is Important
• Activities for Special People
• Special Consideration for Food & Fluids
• Managing Behavior Challenges

“Employers are seeing an increased need for caregivers to work with a memory loss patient. Caring for elderly patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s takes time, understanding, patience, and training,” said Brandi Kurtyka, Chief Marketing Office of myCNAjobs.

The training is helpful for familial caregivers looking to learn and understand how to care for a family member diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The better prepared you are as an Alzheimer’s caregiver, the more successful you’ll be to the challenging role ahead at providing care.
