A new 2.5-hour fast-track dementia training curriculum — built specifically for Direct Care Workers in home-based and community settings — is now live on the Activated Insights Training platform. The curriculum is aligned with the CMS GUIDE Model and combines six newly developed courses with curated content from Activated Insights and CareAcademy.
Why It Matters
The CMS GUIDE Model is reshaping how dementia care is delivered and documented. Organizations that want to participate in — or align with — GUIDE need a workforce that understands both foundational dementia care and the specific expectations of the model. This curriculum delivers exactly that, in a format designed for the pace and reality of home and community-based care.
With this curriculum, providers can:
- Train DCWs on GUIDE-aligned principles quickly, without sacrificing depth
- Strengthen dementia-specific skills in home and community-based settings
- Support compliance and participation in CMS-aligned programs
- Deliver consistent, high-quality care to individuals living with dementia
