Are you caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive dementia? Savvy Caregiver is a proven curriculum developed by Dr. Kenneth Hepburn and colleagues at the University of Minnesota. Grounded in research this educational series teaches strategies, practical real-world skills, and helps to reduce stress, both in the caregiver and the person for whom care is being provided. Savvy Caregiver increases the caregiver’s sense of competence, and well-being even though there may be little experience.
The course will cover:
-understanding the career of caregiving
-different types of dementia
-how the decline in cognition affects behavior
-dealing with the feelings that arise while caregiving
-fitting tasks and activities to the person’s abilities
-decision making skills
