Full Bloom's Training Program
Empathy grows from experience.
Caregivers at most agencies tend to leave within three or four months. With a 70% turnover rate, these agencies don’t invest in quality training—it’s more cost-effective for them to focus on compliance instead of connection.
Your patients and clients deserve better.
Our Memory Care Partners understand the challenges of cognitive decline because they’ve experienced them firsthand. That understanding can’t come from quick, impersonal, online training—it has to be felt in person.

THE FULL BLOOM DIFFERENCE
Where there's knowledge,
there's hope.
Memory Care Partners attend rigorous in-person sessions at our Lake Forest headquarters, where they learn care rooted in skill building, understanding, and empathy.
Innovative Tools
Sensory impairment and struggles with activities of daily living make memory care uniquely challenging. We use specially designed training tools to teach Memory Care Partners how to meet clients wherever they are on their dementia journey.
- Goggles mimic the inability to recognize faces, judge distances, and see peripherally.
- Training gloves simulate the decline in fine motor skills that can make it difficult to reach objects, use a keyboard, or hold utensils.
Optimistic Approach
We incorporate the pioneering techniques of Teepa Snow into our training. Teepa’s “Positive Approach to Care”—the gold standard in compassionate memory care—teaches how to bring joy and meaning to the lives of those living with cognitive decline.
- Provide person-centered care to promote dignity and respect
- Use non-verbal cues like body language and facial expressions to connect with clients losing verbal skills
- Develop customized care plans focused on individual needs
- Adapt care as the disease progresses
Differentiated Instruction
Recognizing that people learn in different ways, we designed a multi-modal approach to training that includes:
- Slides
- Videos
- Discussions
- Role-playing
- Hands-on skill assessments
All of our techniques and training nurture empathy—so our caregivers can nurture our clients. To experience the Full Bloom difference, call us at 847-407-1450 or schedule a free training session today for you and your team.
