I cannot recommend this series enough!

“This series looks at each individual in the most holistic way, putting yourself in their shoes and reaching them where they are at in that specific moment, opposed to figuring out ways to get the resident where you want them.

I cannot recommend this series enough for all those working in healthcare or those with a loved one living with dementia."

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the self-study course experience like?

    You can watch video lessons through your phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop. You will create your own learning schedule, although we highly recommend that you take 1 to 2 weeks to complete a single chapter. Since the course content builds on itself, this will make the course feel more cohesive and your overall course experience more impactful.

  • Will I be able to pause the video in the middle of a lesson?

    Absolutely. This makes it possible for you to make notes, as you wish, and absorb the concepts shared at your own pace.

  • May I share my login credentials with other colleagues in my organization?

    No. Course registration is per individual. Sharing your login privileges with individuals who have not paid for the course is considered a copyright violation. Individuals who are not appropriately registered for the course are also not eligible for a Certificate of Completion or CEUs. We track each student's learning journey, so that we may better support your learning goals. On a shared account, it would be hard for an individual to keep track of their progress through the course. The system is designed to track student progress and resume course content where they left off. As such, it's impossible for the experience to be replicated for more than one individual.

  • What is your refund policy?

    Our goal is to make sure that you have the best learning experience possible. The refund policy for this series is managed on a course-by-course basis. If a particular course isn’t for you, then email us within 10 days of the date of your purchase, and we’ll offer a full refund for the course in question, based on your particular purchase price. Courses that are more than 50% complete are exempt from the refund policy. Send refund requests to [email protected].

  • Are CEUs available for this series?

    Yes. This series is approved for 11.75 hours as each individual course in the series is pre-approved for continuing education hours available through the National Association of Long-Term Care Administrator Boards (NAB).

  • Who do I contact, if I have questions along the way?

Incredible. . .

The tools that Dr. Al Power provides, and the way he engages us, is incredible. It is practical, and it addresses unmet needs for what they are – true needs that the individual living with dementia is experiencing, but not getting fulfilled.
I cannot recommend this enough!

Person-Centered

"Being a recreational therapist, I have always strived to be as person-centered as possible, but this series has taught me to be person-centered for those living with dementia in more ways than I would have ever thought."
