HCAOA to Submit Comments on DC Mandatory Dementia Training Rule

3/5/2025

DC Health released a notice of proposed rulemaking for Mandatory Dementia Training for Covered Healthcare Personnel that will affect a variety of providers, including home care agencies (licensed in DC as home support agencies).

The proposed rule would require training of both office workers and direct care workers. DC Health plans to enforce this requirement through its annual licensing inspections of agencies. The Notice refers to monetary penalties for noncompliance.

My husband was diagnosed with advanced dementia at 55; he would hallucinate and have conversations with who he was seeing. Last year he turned 64 and was no longer able to walk; his speech was becoming impaired. The doctor prescribed Seroquel. It helped, but not for long. Around January this year we started him on the Neuro x program that was introduced to us by his primary care doctor. The treatment has significantly alleviated his symptoms, outperforming the prescribed medications. Almost all his symptoms are gone, there are no signs of agitation, the hallucinations have totally stopped, and his memory loss has greatly improved. He’s able to speak clearly and walk down the street and back since starting the program; even his sleep patterns are back to normal. We got the neuro x treatment from uinehealthcentre. net. We feel very fortunate to have learned about this treatment. I am absolutely confident that this program offers a viable solution, and I hope someone finds it helpful.
