Are You an Alzheimer's Caregiver?

Alzheimer's Association presents free seminar on caregiving for people with late stage dementia.

This program is designed for caregivers of people in the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease, or for those who want to learn about what to expect in the late stages of the disease. In addition to gaining knowledge about changes that occur during Alzheimer’s disease progression, caregivers will learn how to:

• Prepare for their evolving caregiver role

• Work with the professional healthcare team

• Anticipate changes in the physical, communicative and cognitive abilities that will eventually occur

The program will also cover how to address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the person with late-stage Alzheimer’s disease through care, communication, accessing resources, and working with healthcare professionals.
