Home Care, Palliative Care, and Hospice: Making the Right Choice
When caring for a loved one requires more than we can do on our own, we need to know what services are out there to help us. In this workshop we will review the options available at all stages of illness, how they differ and how to know which one is the right choice for your loved one.
Meaningful Activities for a Loved One with Dementia
Being able to participate in daily activities that contribute to the family or household provides meaning and joy to our loved ones despite their dementia. In this session we will discuss how understanding which stage of dementia your loved one is in will allow you to include them in activities that fit their abilities. This workshop is part of our Caregiver Confidence Education Series for family caregivers.
The Grief Journey of the Dementia Caregiver
In this workshop we will discuss how grief changes for dementia caregivers at each stage of the disease—from anticipatory grief to bereavement. Identifying the caregiver’s greatest area of stress will also be a part of the discussion. This workshop is part of our Caregiver Confidence Education Series for family caregivers.
When Is Your Loved One with Dementia Eligible for Hospice?
