Dementia Care Professionals of America

AFA recognizes that as number of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease continues to grow, so too does the need for dementia-specific training of our nation’s healthcare professionals. Achieving a nationwide culture of dementia care that is high-quality, empathetic, and person-centered demands that, as professionals, we continuously pursue opportunities to learn and grow.

Whether you’ve worked in dementia care for decades, are looking to make a career change, or are an emerging professional, DCPA training will help you to develop the expertise and skills needed to be the best dementia care partner you can be.
