From the always helpful ThirdAge Services! I studied Gerontology with Carole at the University of North Texas. I was a fan of her back then and an even bigger fan now. If you are looking for advice or coordination in dementia care, she is an excellent Certified Dementia Consultant.

Course on living with dementia
To keep up to date and in the loop on the latest in dementia care, I signed up for a course on Coursera, a massive open online course, or MOOC. It consisted of online videos to watch and weekly assignments. We all communicate to each other through the discussion boards on the course web page. The course is offered for free, but I decided to take the signature track in order to receive a certificate when I am done. It was Living with dementia: Impact on individuals, caregivers, communities, and societies.
This course is offered through the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and is lead by Dr. Laura Gitlin, PhD and Dr. Nancy Hodgson, PhD, RN, FAAN.
