Free Dementia caregiver course catalog

Free courses for family members, friends, and loved ones who are helping someone living with dementia at home, in the community, or alongside a care team.

Please plan to complete a course before closing it. Course progress is not saved after the course window is closed. If you need to take a break, leave the course open so you can return and continue where you stopped. You may complete each course as many times as needed.

Dementia affects memory, thinking, communication, behavior, and the ability to manage everyday life. It is also increasingly common: the World Health Organization reported that 57 million people were living with dementia worldwide in 2021, with nearly 10 million new cases each year.

Family caregivers do essential work that is often unseen. They preserve routines, advocate during medical visits, manage changing needs, respond to difficult moments, and help a person they love remain safe, connected, and treated with dignity. That responsibility can be meaningful, exhausting, confusing, and isolating—sometimes all at once.

Complify Learning offers these courses at no cost because caregivers deserve reliable guidance without another financial burden. The goal is not to make families into clinicians; it is to help them feel better informed, less alone, and more prepared for the next decision.

Professional learning series

Low-cost Dementia courses for healthcare professionals

Low-cost education for clinical and non-clinical professionals who support people living with dementia in hospice, long-term care, residential care, and other healthcare settings.

As the number of people living with dementia grows, more professionals across healthcare and supportive services will encounter cognitive change, communication barriers, behavioral symptoms, safety concerns, and complex family needs. Dementia-informed care is not limited to one discipline or job title.

Clinical and non-clinical professionals shape the daily experience of care. Their observations can reveal pain or unmet needs. Their communication can lower distress. Their approach to bathing, meals, mobility, documentation, activities, and family conversations can protect dignity and improve quality of life.

These courses are meant to support that work with practical, respectful education. Good training should help professionals understand the person behind the diagnosis, apply safer approaches in real situations, and support both the individual and the people who love them.
