The Home Instead Senior Care network assembled the top experts in Alzheimer’s disease to develop the CARE approach (Changing Aging through Research and Education.)  “We are very pleased to be able to provide these workshops to family caregivers,” says Denise de Cock, R.N., owner of Home Instead Senior Care serving the South Bay.   “It is similar to the kind of training our professional CAREgivers receive and until there is a cure, we offer an interim solution.”

Please call (310) 542-0563 to RSVP or for more information.  Light refreshments will be provided.
