Best Friends Approach™ |
Caring for a loved one with dementia is a role that can be very demanding - physically, emotionally, and financially - but you don't have to go it alone. Our Family Education programs provide a wealth of information and support to help you do a better job.
Maine SAVVY CAREGIVER Training, sponsored by the Office of Elder Services, Department of Health and Human Services and funded by the Administration on Aging, provides family caregivers of people with dementia the knowledge, skills and attitude essential for successful caregiving. Participation in the 12-hour training that is provided in 6 sessions includes participation in a research project to evaluate the effectiveness of this program. You will be asked to complete surveys. For more information, contact Cindy Beck or Kathryn Pears at (800) 272-3900 or at cindy.beck@alz.org. Click here for statewide training schedule.
