Memory Care Services Training

More Than a Requirement, It’s a New Way of Caring for Those with Dementia

Exceptional memory care starts with exceptional training.

Shelly Drews of Help My Senior has developed a unique approach to memory care training that transforms how care is understood, delivered, and felt. This DHS‑approved training program is more than a checklist. It was created specifically for caregivers working in Memory Care and Directed Care communities.

Fellowship Square is honored to host these in-person classroom sessions at our Surprise and Mesa campuses, providing dedicated spaces for Shelly and her team to deliver the course effectively.

Why Memory Care Services Training Matters

Dementia diagnoses are growing at a rapid rate, reshaping the senior care industry. And with millions more expected to be diagnosed in the years ahead, our response must rise to meet that need. This training bridges the gap between task-based caregiving and person-centered, emotionally intelligent care. It empowers caregivers to:

• Understand the brain changes behind behaviors
• Communicate with empathy and trauma-informed awareness
• Preserve the dignity and identity of every resident
• Prevent burnout and reduce unnecessary challenges
• Create a more peaceful, consistent environment for residents and staff

When caregivers are truly equipped with the knowledge, empathy, and real-world tools to support those living with dementia, everything changes. Residents feel safer, more understood, and emotionally supported. Caregivers feel more confident, less stressed, and more connected to their purpose.
