Free Community Education Program for Caregivers of People with Dementia

Living with Alzheimer's for Caregivers: Middle Stage is a 3-part educational series for caregivers of people with Alzheimer's or dementia.

Living with Alzheimer’s for Caregivers: Middle Stage


In the Middle stage of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia disorders, gaps in memory and thinking begin to make it more difficult for the individual to manage day-to-day activities like dressing, bathing and eating without assistance. Personality, behavior and sleep patterns also continue to change. Caregivers assume greater responsibility in managing not only the personal care and finances of the individual but also meeting the challenges of maintaining safety while creating a supportive environment.

Caregivers will learn more about symptoms, care needs, techniques for managing behaviors, maximizing safety, relationship changes, and supportive services available to help with caregiving responsibilities.
