This seminar is for all caregivers - when one of your loved ones is affected by dementia, you are a caregiver. Whether your loved one lives with you or not, whether you see them daily or they live in a different state and you see them once a year, this seminar will give you valuable and helpful information.
There is so much fear and confusion that comes with a diagnosis of dementia. This seminar will lessen those fears and provide families with a way to map the future together with love and thoughtfulness. With this guidance and support, families will be able to reduce stress and experience joy as the disease progresses. This seminar is very practical and gives you what you need to know, what to plan for, and what to do along the way.
We also have regularly scheduled classes that cover topics to educate the family, the caregiver and the person with the disease. This calendar can be found at the following link to our Classes Page and can be used for downloading, sharing or social media:

Additionally, we are adding more support groups (here is a link to our most current Support Group listings:

We have groups that are specific to families at the Early Stage, with loved ones in residential facilities, children caring for parents, wives of the person with the disease (coming soon will be a group for husbands!), LBGTQ+, young adult caregivers, grief and general caregiver support groups.
Currently because of the Omicron variant, our support groups are virtual, once this passes (and it will pass!) those groups that are listed as in person will return to in-person.
Caregiving is tough, we are here to help. Please reach out with questions or concerns. My contact information is below or call our 24 hour helpline 800-272-3900.
