Dementia 2026 Training Courses
Venue: Nazareth House, 1 Derry Street, Cape Town.
DementiaSA trains home-based care givers, residential care facility staff, nurses and community health workers in the specialized “person-centered care” required when caring for a person with dementia.
We train social workers to enable them to make better informed decisions and family recommendations and interventions when a family member develops a dementia.
