Qualified vs. Certified.

Certified (CDP Certified Dementia Practitioner) states that you have taken your profession to the next level. It states clearly that you are educated in the field of Dementia. Not only are you qualified to work with dementia clients but also you’re certified. Certification standards require education, experience and continuing education. Certification requires that the CDP stays current with trends, ethics, regulations, medications and new developments that pertain to Dementia.

Notice: While certification promotes and maintains quality, it does not license, confer a right or privilege upon or otherwise define the qualifications of anyone in the healthcare field.

Certified Dementia Practitioner is NOT a profession but a level of education in the area of dementia care to assist you in providing compassionate care to the most vulnerable elderly
