In June, AGE-u-cate welcomed it’s latest group of professionals from across the U.S. to its new Grapevine, Texas training facility to participate in the company’s Master Trainers Program. Over three days of intensive training, the group learned how to train certified Dementia Live™ and Compassionate Touch® coaches, receiving in-depth knowledge of dementia, Alzheimer’s, and aging-changes that will prepare them as dementia specialists serving professional and family caregivers.

“The urgent need for dementia education is on the cusp of explosive growth as our population marches quickly toward old age,” said Pam Brandon, President and Founder of AGE-u-cate Training Institute. “Dementia is a leading cause of death worldwide that must be addressed at every level of society.   Our Master Trainers will be in their communities able to train those working in long term care, hospitals, public agencies and more with innovative programs that offer powerful tools for caregivers to communicate with and respond to the behavior expression of persons living with dementia.”

Master Trainer Intensive Workshop a success


To meet the fast growing demands of quality dementia training, AGE-u-cate Training Institute instituted it’s first Master Trainer Intensive Workshop in February.

Professionals from across the US and Australia spent three and a half days in Dallas learning AGE-u-cate’s flagship training programs – Dementia Live™ and Compassionate Touch®. Garnering in-depth knowledge of dementia, Alzheimer’s and aging changes helped them to prepare as dementia specialists serving professional and family caregivers.
