At Always Best Care of Burlington, we believe exceptional care begins with deep understanding. That’s why we’ve invested in the Dementia Live Program, a powerful, immersive training experience that helps our caregivers truly step into the shoes of those living with dementia

By simulating the sensory and cognitive challenges of memory loss, this program equips our team with the empathy, insight, and practical skills needed to provide more compassionate, person-centered in-home care. It’s one more way we’re empowering our caregivers and enhancing the lives of the families we serve.

  • What sets Always Best Care of Burlington apart as a Certified Dementia Live Provider.
  • The importance of hands-on, specialty training in delivering compassionate, bespoke support.
  • How innovative caregiver education translates into more meaningful connections and improved well-being for clients and families.


What is the Dementia Live Program?

The Dementia Live Program is a cutting-edge, immersive training experience created by AGE-u-cate Training Institute. Designed to build greater empathy and understanding, this program places caregivers and family members in the shoes of someone living with dementia, both physically and emotionally.

Using specially designed tools that alter perception, participants experience firsthand the confusion, frustration, and sensory changes associated with dementia. From struggling to button a shirt to feeling overwhelmed by noise and light, the simulation offers a powerful perspective shift that goes far beyond classroom learning.

The goal? To deepen caregivers’ compassion and sharpen their skills. At Always Best Care of Burlington, Dementia Live training equips our staff to respond with more patience, improve communication, and create environments that reduce stress and support dignity. It’s not just training, it’s transformation.

We’re proud to announce that Always Best Care of Burlington is now a Certified Dementia Live Provider, a distinction that elevates our commitment to excellence in memory care. This certification empowers us to deliver the full Dementia Live experience not just to our caregivers, but to families and community partners as well.

What It Means to Be Officially Certified

Through our partnership with the AGE-u-cate Training Institute, our team is equipped to lead Dementia Live sessions that offer a powerful, first-hand perspective into the world of someone living with dementia. This immersive training builds true empathy and prepares our caregivers to form deeper, more compassionate connections with clients.

Becoming certified isn’t a one-and-done achievement, it means we’ve met rigorous training standards and are committed to ongoing education. This ensures our staff stays current with the best practices in dementia care, always delivering support that’s grounded in understanding, dignity, and heart.

Specialty Training for Every Caregiver

At Always Best Care of Burlington, we believe exceptional care starts with exceptional training. That’s why every caregiver on our team receives hands-on, advanced instruction that goes far beyond the basics.

A key part of this is Dementia Live, an immersive experience that helps caregivers step into the shoes of someone living with dementia. By understanding what clients may feel and face each day, our caregivers learn how to ease confusion, create calming routines, and build genuine trust with both clients and their families.

This kind of training isn’t a bonus, it’s at the heart of the compassionate, high-quality care we’re proud to deliver.

Going Beyond Basics: Parkinson’s Care Training

Our commitment to specialized care doesn’t stop at dementia. We are also a Community Partner in Parkinson’s Care through the Parkinson’s Foundation, offering targeted training that addresses the unique needs of individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. 

From managing tremors and movement challenges to recognizing the emotional toll of the disease, our caregivers are trained to deliver thoughtful, responsive dementia support. By integrating both Dementia Live and Parkinson’s Care education into our training programs, we ensure our team is prepared to meet clients where they are, with skill, understanding, and empathy.
