Tips for Dementia Caregiving at Home
Tuesday, July 14, 1:30-2:45 PM
Managing care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s Disease or other dementia-related illness became more complicated during the COVID-19 shut down. Many outside supports were suddenly unavailable, causing changes in routines, longer hours of hands-on care at home, and social isolation.
Join us Tuesday, July 14, for an online discussion among caregivers. Get tips and strategies from our Alzheimer’s Assistance Program, and activities to engage loved ones living with dementia.
Join us to discover ideas that could make a big difference in your day!
This program is free and open to the community. We will use GoToMeeting, an easy-to-use web meeting app, similar to Zoom. Participants will receive a meeting link when they register, and we will send a reminder link a couple days before the program. You can connect by computer, tablet or smart phone. It is ideal if your device has a camera and microphone.
