Spring 2025 Caring for Alzheimers & Memory Care

This course, developed by Teepa Snow, offers an in-depth exploration of Typical and Atypical Aging, Positive Physical Approach™ (PPA™), Hand Under Hand® (HUH®), and Teepa's GEMS® States. Throughout the course, students will learn practical skills and strategies to build meaningful connections with individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Learners will examine the differences between "normal" and "not normal" aging. The focus is on understanding how to tailor care to meet the needs and retained abilities of individuals with dementia, promoting a sense of control and independence.
The course also introduces Positive Approach to Care’s techniques, including PPA and HUH. These methods teach care partners how to interact more effectively, shifting from simply managing behaviors to fostering deeper connections. Participants will practice techniques that emphasize doing tasks with individuals, rather than for them, to create a more positive and supportive care environment.
The course delves into Teepa Snow’s GEMS® States, a model comparing cognitive abilities to precious gems, which helps care partners better understand and respond to changes in behavior and abilities. This course emphasizes the importance of adjusting care, communication, and expectations as dementia progresses, ensuring that care is responsive and compassionate.
