Home Care Assistance, the premier provider of in-home care for seniors, is offering free continuing education credits (CEUs) as part of its ongoing Healthy Longevity Webinar Series

Denver, CO (PRWEB) October 26, 2012 - Home Care Assistance, North America’s premier provider of in-home care for seniors, partnered with the American Society on Aging (ASA) to present a series of three web seminars addressing best practices in working with clients who have Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The CEU courses are offered free to all registrants, courtesy of Home Care Assistance as part of its extremely well-received educational Healthy Longevity Webinar Series. This series is the ideal opportunity for professionals from a wide spectrum of fields, ranging from social workers to nurses to care managers and many more, to earn CEUs while simultaneously gaining valuable information that will be beneficial in advancing their careers and strengthening their client relationships. The first webinar, held in October, was a huge success with over 1000 registrants.

According to one listener: “I thought it was an excellent presentation! All three presenters were well organized and the slides were relevant. I also appreciated the questions and answers portion of the presentation. Thank you for the excellent webinar.”

The second installment of the series entitled “Recreational and Social Activities: Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Dementia” will be held on Tuesday, November 6th at 11 AM Pacific, 2 PM Eastern.

Participants in this web seminar will:

• Understand the effects of dementia on a person’s life and the importance of recreational and social activities.
• Learn about recreational activities that are interactive and engaging.
• Receive strategies for making routine activities recreational and strategize ways of socially engaging clients.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to the first webinar and hope that the second session is even better. Part of the reason we decided to host this CEU Series was to thank the many senior care professionals with whom we work throughout North America who go above and beyond to support older adults in their communities,” said Chris Riddle, owner of Home Care Assistance of Denver.

The final webinar titled “Cognitive and Sensory Activities: Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Dementia” will be held on Tuesday, December 4th at 11 AM Pacific, 2 PM Eastern.

Pre-registration is required for all webinars. Participants can pre-register through the ASA’s website at http://asaging.org/healthy-longevity-series; click on the desired web seminar and follow the instructions.

Professionals will take a short survey online after the webinar and then will receive one hour of CEU credit through the ASA. If a senior care professional is unable to participate in the live webinar but would still like to obtain CEUs, a recorded version will be available online for 30 days after the live presentation. Pre-registration is also required to access the recorded webinars.
