Since 2020 all home care agencies, residential care facilities, clinics, adult day centers, nursing homes, and other entities licensed under New Hampshire’s Title XI Chapter 151 have been required to have ALL staff complete at least FOUR hours of dementia care training EVERY CALENDAR YEAR. If your staff hasn’t done it yet for 2022, they have just over two weeks left.
Your state surveyors WILL be checking. Are you in compliance?
Good news!
Members of the Home Care, Hospice, and Palliative Care Alliance can use any of the modules found on this site toward that goal. You can also receive training through other sources including articles, books, and podcasts, as well as online and on-site conferences and workshops. The state’s requirement is TIME spent learning, (they may record their time with the sheet provided, or whatever tool works for them) and that it be taught by a reputable source (section 151:51).
Not loving the modules? That’s okay, Supplemental Dementia Care Trainings are available now. See below!

Dementia Care Education is a member benefit of the Alliance.
Meeting the requirements of New Hampshire’s Dementia Education law is financially and operationally challenging for many agencies. That’s why the Alliance created this website exclusively as a training resource for members and their staff. The modules include webinars, supplemental education materials, quizzes, certificates, and tracking sheets designed to comply with New Hampshire’s training requirements. Individuals using the program must be employed by an Alliance member agency.
Passwords are provided to education contacts at each agency.
