What dementia care education does

Dementia Care Education is a US-based, privately held education and training services company focused on Alzheimer's and dementia care. It delivers an 8-hour Dementia Care Certified® training program — positioned as a national model for caregivers, administrators, case managers, social workers, nurses, and other professionals — alongside customized continuing education (CEU) courses, community education presentations, employer programs for working caregivers, memory screening assessments, and clinical trials recruitment services. The Dementia Certified Network® operates as a registered-trademark referral directory connecting patients and families with physicians, in-home caregivers, memory care facilities, support groups, and clinical research opportunities.

The company's underlying technology is minimal: there is no proprietary platform, no mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed software stack. Service delivery is conducted via live-stream training, on-site engagements at client facilities, virtual education series hosted through Eventbrite, and a podcast (Brain Health 365) distributed on Apple Podcasts. Content, curriculum, and brand assets — including the Dementia Care Certified® and Dementia Certified Network® trademarks — are the principal intellectual property. The advisory board (Dr. Walter J. Nieri of Banner Health, Dr. Jon C. Walkes) and a research-consultant affiliation between CEO Brian Browne and the Cleveland Clinic provide clinical credibility.

The business model is professional services across six revenue streams, all delivered through direct sales and inside-sales motions (phone at 888-317-5559 and email intake). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and contracts appear to be customized per engagement. Customer segments are diversified horizontally across healthcare professionals, caregivers, employers, the general community, and clinical trial sponsors, though no named customer logos or revenue-segment breakdowns are disclosed. The company is founder-led, with 1–10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and operations centered in Arizona serving a national US footprint.
