Alzheimer's & Dementia Care Training

ADDC seminars taught by a Certified Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Trainer — the flagship program of Clinical Blueprint's professional side. First seminars: 2028. The waitlist is open now.

The path to CDP, in one day The Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care (ADDC) seminar is the required training step toward becoming a Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) through the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners (NCCDP). Attend the one-day seminar, then submit your CDP application to NCCDP within 30 days. Twelve modules: diagnosis, communication, behavior, personal care, wandering, falls, nutrition, activities, environment, diversity, and end-of-life care.

Two ways to attend

For individual nurses

Scheduled live seminars (online via Zoom, with in-person dates in northwest Oklahoma as dates are set). One full day, certificate of attendance the same day, and guidance on your CDP application before you leave.

Why dementia, why here

Dementia is the specialty this practice is built on — it's the daily reality of home health in Oklahoma, where the nearest specialist can be an hour away and families are doing most of the care. Seminars will be taught by Casey Sims, BSN, RN — a home health case manager who completes her Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP) credential in December 2026 and her dementia care trainer certification (CADDCT) before the first seminar runs. No seminar will be scheduled before both are in hand.

Seminar pricing is set at launch from NCCDP's published guidance and will be posted here before registration opens. CDP certification itself is granted by NCCDP, not by Clinical Blueprint — the seminar provides the required training and attendance certificate.
