Dementia Gatekeeper Training

dementia gatekeeper logoThank you for your interest in becoming a Dementia Gatekeeper and supporting our neighbors living with memory loss. In this free online training, you will learn:
  • The common symptoms of dementia versus normal age-related memory loss
  • Tips for communicating with customers experiencing memory loss or confusion
  • Resources for additional support
The Dementia Gatekeeper program is designed for local businesses and organizations that serve older adults in our community, such as grocers, shops, libraries, restaurants, utility providers, and more! After this training, we hope you feel empowered and prepared to refer anyone who may need support to Alzheimer’s San Diego. To make a referral, click here.
