I took this course to improve my performance as a caregiver to a family member with Huntington's Disease. The content opened my eyes to a system of caregiving based on compassion and holistic service for both the recipient and the caregiver. I feel like my objectives were met and surpassed.

Became too much of a politicized Infomercial. A few great moments of value but perhaps too few to regard this as a high quality course. Sorry...just the way I feel.

This course gave an excellent viewpoint of where our systems should be but is still in a strong stage of idealism vs the actual reality of what is happening in long term care homes - it will however go a long way in raising awareness that there is a good alternative to the current model and guide eventual change (Ihope!)

This course has addressed the important issues of increasing dementia population, challenges for quality of care, and comprehensive care by the SSLD approach. The course arrangement is well-designed, and the information is up to date. The course lecturers have the frontline line experiences and practical knowledge.

A very useful learning tool for professional and personal caregivers, psychology students (like myself) which enhances a broader care perspective for persons living with dementia, opening a window for a flexible, hopeful, openminded yet informed and realistic approach.
