Dementia Caregiver Education Series (Session 2)

  • Senior Center of Elk Grove 8230 Civic Center Drive Elk Grove, CA, 95757 United States (map)

Part 1: Caregiving Today: It's a Balancing Act!

Caregivers can exemplify compassion and nurturing toward others while often failing to take care of themselves. If you are a caregiver, finding value in your role and knowing your limitations can be critical to your success. Research shows that 65% of caregivers suffer from a major health event before the person who is receiving care. Becoming educated and knowledgeable about the journey ahead can make all the difference.

Part 2: Understanding and Responding to Dementia Related Behaviors

Provides participants with a four-step model to address behavioral aspects of dementia. The program details the model & then applies it to some of the most common behaviors associated with the disease.
