THE SAVVY CAREGIVER - EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

The Savvy Caregiver is a free six-session educational training for active family caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia-related diseases
 
Caring for a person living with Alzheimer’s or related dementia is specialized work. To do this successfully, caregivers need special skills, knowledge, good self-care, and a positive attitude. This six-session course provides caregivers with the skills and knowledge they need to provide the highest level of care for loved ones, as well as for themselves.
 
The Savvy Caregiver program covers:
  • The pathology of dementia diseases
  • Strategies for caregiver self-care
  • Dementia stages
  • Developing contented involvement for someone with dementia
  • How to recognize options to optimize decision making
  • Making the most of family resources
 
*Classes run at each location for six consecutive weeks unless otherwise noted
 
Free respite care available during class hours!
