NCBAC - NATIONAL CERTIFICATION BOARD for ALZHEIMER CARE
Wellness and Fitness ServicesIllinois, United States2-10 Employees
NCBAC is a small organization based in Chicago, Illinois, that administers two credentials for dementia care: the Certified Alzheimer Caregiver (CAC) and the Certified Alzheimer Educator (CAEd). These credentials function as quality indicators for healthcare professionals caring for people with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders and are used by facility and agency managers, directors, and owners to verify core competencies and knowledge. The organization positions itself within the wellness and fitness services sector by offering national credentialing and registry services that support public well-being. The board emphasizes that its certifications signal quality care but do not license or authorize healthcare practice where licensure is regulated by state or local authorities. In May 2018, NCBAC announced an enhanced version of its Certified Alzheimer Educator course.
