The World Health Organization (2019) recognizes dementia as a public health problem, whose annual incidence is approximately 10 million cases; it is estimated that by 2030 people with dementia worldwide will exceed 80 million, Alzheimer's disease being the most frequent type of dementia. Although the presence of this pathology is not exclusive to elderly, it is the age group most affected by this condition. Taking care of a person with Alzheimer requires a therapeutic approach that, in addition to basic care, includes planned and permanent cognitive stimulation, so that the deterioration delays and the preserved faculties enhance. There are large gaps in the knowledge of caregivers of people with the Alzheimer disease, as well as the need to implement educational strategies aimed at achieving significant learning that positively affects the caregiver's work and, therefore, quality of life of their patients. Objective: To design a training strategy for caregivers of people with the Alzheimer disease in nursing homes in Bucaramanga. Method: Qualitative study of ethnographic type. Quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interview) techniques were used to collect the data, which were systematized and analyzed with statistical programs. Results: To identify the knowledge related to the Alzheimer disease and its assistance of 30 caregivers a diagnosis was carried out. Findings showed that caregivers had a high percentage of ignorance about this disease. Based on the results and considering national and international regulations, a training strategy for caregivers of people with Alzheimer was designed. Experts in the fields of health and education validated this training strategy. Implications: It is expected that with the implementation of this training strategy caregivers gain knowledge about how to take care of people with Alzheimer and implement it in their daily practice, thus improving those people quality of life.
