Alzheimer's Care Ministry
An Alzheimer's Family Caregivers Workshop at our church. On Oct. 22 and 29, 2016, Saturdays from 9am to 1pm.
Caring for someone with cognitive impairment is a 24-hour a day, 7-day week challenge. Although we love them dearly, this disease can make day-to-day, night-to-night hard and worrisome.
Come to our Workshop. This series of educational sessions provides an opportunity for families to learn and share together in an informal setting.
Topics are presented by experts in their fields, including physicians, nurses, social workers and attorneys.
In this program, participants will:
Develop a better understanding of medical aspects of dementia, including diagnosis, stages and treatment.
Learn strategies to cope with daily challenges, such as communication, behaviors, safety and personal care.
Receive information about legal and financial planning, including advance directives, Medicaid and more.
Identify community services to help you now and in the future, such as respite care and long-term care.
Session Topics include:
The Nature and Progression of the Disease
Changes in Communication and Behavior
Legal Planning for Families
Family Coping Strategies & Community Resources
