Within military and veteran care systems, dementia care for veterans presents unique challenges. Service-related experiences, trauma, and complex health histories shape care in these settings. This certificate equips students to address these unique challenges and provide responsive, respectful care for veterans. They will gain a foundational knowledge of how cognition changes with age, assessment and care planning, communication, and person-centered care. They will focus on how military culture and service-related experiences shape behavioral and functional changes. Students will apply person-centered, trauma-informed approaches to communication and care in settings where complex health needs and stressors are common. The certificate emphasizes collaboration with families, peer support, and veteran service systems to promote trust, safety, and well-being for both individuals and caregivers.
