On April 3, 2008, eighteen home health aids
successfully completed our 45-hour Dementia
Home Care Training in Spanish. We value their
commitment to improve their skills in order to
offer the best possible care to those who depend
on them. We wish to thank The New York
Community Trust for their generous funding
which made this training possible. In addition,
we wish to thank League 1199/SEIU Training &

In NYC, tens of thousands of people with dementia are living at home and being cared for by Home Care Aides. The work
of caring for people with dementia requires specialized skills and exceptional sensitivity. To prepare home care workers to
become part of this much-needed, capable workforce, we at the NYC Chapter offer a variety of training programs. In calendar
year 2007, more than 500 Home Care Aides received our dementia home care training.
