This program covers two core topics. First, learn how dementia changes relationships over time, the benefits of person-centered care approaches, how to create a supportive care team and steps to identify and manage caregiver stress. Second, learn how dementia changes a person’s independence and impacts safety, how to provide the right amount of support, and tips to make every activity meaningful to the person living with dementia.

Additional Information

Caring for someone living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia can be both rewarding and challenging. In this session, we'll explore the role of the caregiver, common changes caregivers experience, strategies for building a strong support system, and techniques for managing caregiver stress. We'll also discuss practical ways to support independence by helping individuals living with dementia remain engaged in daily activities while balancing safety, autonomy, and realistic expectations.

This free program will be held at the RCS Community Library, 95 Main Street, Ravena, NY 12143.

No registration is required.
