As a GUIDE provider, you have an opportunity—and a responsibility—to deliver dementia care that is grounded in evidence, skill, and humanity. That begins with bringing a Positive Approach to Care (PAC)–licensed or certified educator onto your GUIDE team. PAC is peer‑reviewed, evidence‑based, and built on decades of real, hands‑on experience with people living with dementia (PLwD). Families are looking for providers who invest in meaningful, high‑quality training, not generic content or surface‑level education. Hiring or contracting a PAC‑trained professional signals that you take excellence seriously.
Do not rely on pre‑recorded videos, PowerPoint readings, or trainers who have never directly supported PLwD. That level of training is no longer acceptable to families—and it shouldn’t be acceptable to you. A PAC‑certified educator elevates your entire team’s competence, confidence, and compassion. And here’s something more: if you hire or contract PAC‑certified professionals (even if it is not me), I will proudly promote your organization on my website and social media. If you go even further and become a PAC‑Designated provider, I will highlight you even more prominently. This is your chance to stand out, lead with integrity, and show families that you are committed to delivering the best.
