Redefine Excellence in Dementia Care

Through education and training, Trinity Dementia Care can help caregivers improve the quality of life for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. A beneficial way to enhance your dementia education and also receive CEU credits is to become a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP®) through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP) or a Certified Montessori Dementia Care Professional® (CMDCP®) through the International Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (ICCDP), a division of the NCCDP.

“Thank you for doing such an excellent job with the seminar. Your knowledge, expertise, and delivery certainly encapsulated the audience.  We received several favorable comments from our employees, especially our caregivers. They felt thankful for the opportunity and unanimously expressed that they all learned something valuable that they will take back and use with their clients.  I think an important factor was, besides your expert knowledge on the topic of dementia, your sincerity and exuberant concern and care for the elderly was certainly felt by the entire audience.”
