The National Plan to Address Alzheimer's disease has identified education of dementia care providers as a top priority to address the need for quality care for the population of persons with dementia that will triple in the next 30 years. This study will test new online interactive training for nursing home staff that improves staff communication and also reduces behavioral symptoms of persons with dementia that they care for. Innovative approaches to reach care providers are essential to achieve implementation of evidence-based practices to improve care.
