Memory Disorders: Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Support
Care for residents living with Alzheimer's and dementia as whole people, not diagnoses. Understand the disease and its stages, recognize the signs and behaviors, communicate and connect ("connect, don't correct"), find the need behind the behavior, provide safe and dignified daily care, and recognize when a sudden change is a medical red flag — not "just the dementia." CNAs provide person-centered care and report changes; they do not diagnose, stage, or manage medications.
Mobility Decline, Bedrest Risks, and Fall Prevention
Break the fall-fear-weakness spiral: understand why elders fall and why immobility is dangerous, prevent falls, assist transfers and mobility safely with gait belts and good body mechanics, respond correctly when a resident falls (never move them before assessment), and keep residents moving against deconditioning.
Suspected Sepsis: Early Signs and Urgent Reporting
Sepsis is the body's extreme, life-threatening response to an infection — a time-critical emergency where minutes decide survival. Learn what sepsis is and why it always starts with an infection, recognize its early warning signs (especially the quiet ones in elders — new confusion, weakness, "not themselves"), and report suspected sepsis immediately and urgently. CNAs prevent, recognize, report fast, advocate, and support — they do not diagnose, score, or treat. Recognize early, report immediately.
