I attended Rachelle Blough’s Dementia Practitioner Certification Course and found it to be one of the most educationally valuable training days of my professional career. Her knowledge, experience, and compassion are all quite evident as she provides instruction, drawing on life experiences and professional standards to implement a program that was both engaging and informative. Her effervescent personality, creative mind, and genuine desire to enrich the lives of older adults yielded a multitude of ideas for us to implement in our facility. Staff who attended her course are better equipped to manage the often challenging behaviors and affects of people with dementia, and they are also more confident in their abilities. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachelle Blough’s class to anyone working with people with dementia in any capacity. In the 6 months since our staff participated in her class and received Dementia Practitioner Certifications, we have already witnessed a marked improvement in the quality of care we provide to our residents with cognitive difficulties.
