Understanding Dementia: What is Dementia? is one of OHS.com.au’s three dementia-specific online learning courses. These courses are designed solely for the aged care sector.

The Australian Primary Health Care Nurses Association (APNA) has endorsed this course and successful completion earns 20 CPD Points from APNA.

This course increases the learner’s understanding of life with dementia and its impact. It also provides behavioural training in how to care for and support people living with dementia.

Online learning is a key part of aged care professional development. Because of this, ‘What is Dementia?’, is designed to fit in with any organisation’s training mix. The course can be used as a part of the Understanding Dementia suite or as a standalone title. The course has a Further Resources sub-menu that can be used for professional development and those that want to take a deeper-dive into the subject.

This online learning course is designed to align with the Aged Care Quality Standards. It has been developed in collaboration with experts, including OHS.com.au clients working in the aged care sector, to ensure the course is fit-for-purpose.

What is Dementia?

Dementia is not a mental illness. It is a syndrome or group of symptoms that affect the person living with dementia in different ways.

Dementia involves the gradual loss of memory, the ability to think clearly, sensory stimulation and the ability to perform everyday activities. This is why an individual approach to care and support is best. The causes of dementia vary and the experience can be different from person to person, and even from moment to moment.

The ‘Understanding Dementia: What is Dementia?’ Course is designed specifically for carers and other health professionals who provide care for a person/people living with dementia.

The online learning is applicable to learners in residential aged care services, home services and flexible care services. This course is suitable for new and experienced carers.

This course provides aged care professionals with training in:

- What the term 'dementia' means.

- The impact on a person living with dementia.

- The need to provide a person-centred approach to care.

You are required to get 80% in each module and the final quiz to pass. Once you have achieved this you are able to download your certificate.

Courses do not always work on iPads, phones and other devices. If you have difficulties, please do the course on a desktop computer.

      It's holding up better than I thought it would
      Style: Snake
      *EDIT* I originally gave this toy a 1 star rating. I changed that to a 4. Even though my dog immediately put holes in it, it's still holding up. She absolutely loves her Snakey, and takes it to bed with her. She hasn't even chewed the eyes off, like she would normally do. There's even still a piece of the tongue left lol! I gave this to my dog tonight. She's already torn a hole in the tail. I just found a hole next to a squeaker, and she's almost chewed the tongue off. This toy is not durable at all. I do not recommend this for any dog that likes to chew.

      Not recommended for an aggressive chewer.
      Style: Crocodile, Style: Crocodile
      24 hrs. after giving this to my Frenchton, all 3 squeakers were out and disabled, one foot remained, head was half way off, back end was chewed away. This alligator is no match for an aggressive chewer.

      It is good for tug a war
      Style: Snake
      The squeakers did not last very long with my poodle puppy. That was a disappointment. He does like to play tug a war with it. So I gave it three stars.
