Why U-First! ?

The goal of the U-First! Program is to offer training to care providers in how to improve the quality of the interaction between the formal care provider and the person living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.

The U-First! Program will help you care for someone with dementia and you’ll also learn how to involve the Team in caring for the person with dementia.
