Descriptions of Awareness and Caregiver Programs that are available.

Know the10 Signs: Early Detection Matters       Free
The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Attend this training to learn the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. This program can be provided in 1 or 2 hour sessions.

The Basics: Memory Loss, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease      Free
This program is designed to help participants understand the difference between normal age-related memory changes and more serious memory problems that should be evaluated by a medical professional.  Other topics that will be covered include the common causes of memory loss, risk factors, and the importance of an accurate diagnosis. The program can be provided in 1 or 2 hour sessions.

Living with Alzheimer’s Series          Free
These programs are a multi-part series of programs containing sections for people with the disease, care partners (in the early stage) or caregivers (in the middle and late stages), and people with Younger-Onset and their care partners.

Living with Alzheimer’s: For People with Alzheimer’s is an interactive three-part program where you will discuss what you need to know, what you need to plan and what you can do to navigate this chapter of your life. This program will cover information for people with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. Topics covered will include: understanding Alzheimer’s and memory loss, partnering with your medical team, effective communication, coping with changes ad make decisions, along with daily strategies and safety issues and resources.

 Living with Alzheimer’s: For Caregivers is a series of education programs that provide answers to the questions that arise in the early, middle and late stages of the disease. When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, friends and family have many questions. What does the diagnosis mean? What kinds of plans need to be made? What resources are available to help? As the disease progresses, new questions reflect growing needs for skills, programs and services. Learn what you need to know, what you need to plan and what you can do at each point along the way.  This program is divided into smaller sections and meant to be offered consecutively and over a period of time no longer than six weeks.

Living with Alzheimer’s: For Younger-Onset Is a series of education programs that provide answers to the questions that arise for people concerned about Younger-onset Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, also covering information for families. Topics covered will include: developing a care team, legal and financial planning, coping strategies, care and treatment options, communicating and connecting and maximizing independence.

Legal and Financial Planning for Alzheimer’s disease     Free
This program is an interactive two-part program where you will have a chance to learn about important legal and financial issues to consider, how to put plans in place, and how to access legal and financial resources near you. The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s makes planning for the future more important than ever. Topics covered will include: making legal plans that fit your needs, legal documents you’ll need and what they mean for all of you, how to find legal and financial assistance, practical strategies for making a long-term plan of care and government programs that can help pay for care.

For more information or to schedule any of the programs above, please contact Joan Litwitz, Program Director, at 715.635.6601 or via email at joan.litwitz@alz.org.
