Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia can be difficult. Care partners are invited to attend this six-session program at no cost. Learn the best techniques and interventions for dementia care in a healthy manner with reduced stress.

The six sessions cover in detail:

  • What to Expect as the disease progresses

  • Communication Pt. 1 - Best ways to communicate with loved ones

  • Communication Pt. 2 - Understand how persons with dementia communicate

  • Daily Living & Home Safety - Seeing the work through their eyes

  • Reducing Stress & Coping Skills - Taking care of the caregiver

Care partners who completed the training have reported increased confidence in their caregiver abilities and felt reassured that their loved one is getting proper care
