Alzheimer Association Community Education Program: Coping with Caregiver Stress

Caring for a person with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia can become an overwhelming experience.

Often, caregivers neglect their own well-being because they are devoting so much time to the responsibilities of day-to-day caregiving. This program will examine caregiver stress and offer coping strategies to become a healthier caregiver. The value of assembling a care team and the importance of setting realistic expectations for caregiving are topics that will be explored. Join us on Tuesday, August 4, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m., CareOne at Ridgewood Avenue, 100 West Ridgewood Avenue, Paramus. RSVP 973-586-4300.
