According to the CDC, there are currently 6.7 million people living with Alzheimer’s, and by 2060, that number is projected to grow to nearly 14 million. For more than two decades, HCI has been addressing this national crisis by developing the most innovative set of training products for family members and professional caregivers available in the marketplace.
HCI’s evidence-based CARES® Dementia 5-Step Method and its online video-based training and certification programs are easy to use, are mobile friendly, are well researched and published in the academic literature, and can be used on any computer or mobile device in your home, at work, or on the road.
HCI collaborates directly with nationally known Alzheimer’s and dementia researchers at organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Association, Duke University, Emory University, NYU School of Medicine, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of South Florida, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and National Institutes of Health. Its programs have been recognized by the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) to help reduce the off-label use of antipsychotic medications.
HCI was founded in 1997 by John V. Hobday, an educational and instructional design expert, software developer, and dementia researcher. Mr. Hobday serves as HCI’s President and CEO and lives with his family in Minneapolis.
HCI is located in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota—a suburb of Minneapolis.
