VHCA-VCAL members receive 15% off the purchase of any Healthcare Interactive® CARES online training program by using promo code AHCA15 at checkout. CARES training is unique because it includes direct video “before and after” training with an easy-to-use, easy-to-apply approach to dementia care called the CARES® Approach®. The CARES Approach can be used in any situation, with any person with dementia, at any stage of the disease.

CARES online training is recommended by AHCA/NCAL to help reduce the off-label use of antipsychotics. In addition, CARES® is the only online dementia training to be recognized by CMS.
