Tips for Dementia Caregiving at Home
Managing daily care for a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease or other dementia-related illness can be isolating and stressful. With fewer outside supports available due to COVID-19, many caregivers are facing longer hours of hands-on care at home. In this program, we will:
- provide tips, resources, and strategies for caregivers
- recommend activities for loved ones with dementia
- invite caregivers to share their thoughts
Please join us, and bring your ideas and questions for the group.
