Savvy Caregiver Training Program |
| Description: |
Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is a specialty requiring specific skills and an attitude that contributes to the well being of both the caregiver and the person with the disease. This program enables family members to develop a sense of control and mastery within the caregiving role.
Most people involved in care do it out of family love and obligation, but have no training in how to effectively handle the challenges of this enormous job. The Savvy Caregiver Training Program comes complete with a caregiver manual and CD-ROM to help participants learn the critical tasks in caregiving. |
