In short

  • Everyone who gives care or has daily contact with people with dementia gets dementia training at orientation and again every year.
  • Hospice aides must complete 12 hours of in-service training in every 12-month period.
  • Sign the attendance sheet at every training so it counts.
  • Tell your supervisor if you do not feel ready to do a task. You will be trained and checked first.
