PETALUMA, Calif., Sept. 23, 2020 // PRNewswire // - In order to empower seniors, families, financial and legal professionals, and health care providers who are working with someone living with dementia, Senior Care Authority® is now offering a course leading to Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) certification. Their first seminar, to be held on Sept. 29, 2020, will precede the Fall 2020 launch of the Senior Care Authority Academy, a vehicle for equipping the industry and the public with the latest information on dementia and other information related to senior care.

"Our company prides itself on providing the best-trained and most caring senior care advisors," stated Senior Care Authority Managing Director Marcy Baskin.
