What is the Dementia Live Program?

The Dementia Live Program, developed by the AGE-u-cate Training Institute, is an innovative, immersive training experience designed to foster deeper empathy and understanding. It places caregivers, and even family members, directly in the shoes of someone living with dementia, both physically and emotionally.

Using specially designed sensory tools that alter perception, participants gain firsthand insight into the daily challenges of dementia. From the frustration of struggling with simple tasks to the overwhelm of sensory overload, this experience creates a powerful shift in perspective, far beyond what traditional classroom learning can offer.

At Always Best Care of Charlotte, Dementia Live is more than just training, it’s a transformative tool that equips our caregivers to respond with greater patience, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of compassion. The result? Calmer, more supportive environments where clients feel respected, understood, and truly cared for.

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.
