Living with Alzheimer's

The Alzheimer's Association is hosting a free educational series that provides answers to the questions that arise after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. Caregivers are invited to an eight-week series, and people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are offered a three-week series.

Topics covered will include:
• Developing a care team
• Legal and financial planning
• Coping strategies
• Care and treatment options
• Communicating and connecting
• Maximizing independence

This caregiver program will cover information for caregivers of people with:
• Early-stage Alzheimer’s disease
• Middle-stage Alzheimer’s disease
• Late-stage Alzheimer’s disease

 Registration is flexible and free. You may attend one or all of the sessions of a series. Respite care is available.
