title: Alzheimer's disease. Research turned into reality.
abstract: A needs assessment revealed that a majority of home care workers feel the need for more education on Alzheimer's disease if they are taking care of such individuals. One program in Canada addressed this hole in the home care basket with a seven-module training course, which prepares its workers for the difficult task of caring for persons with AD when no one else is there.
