Family caregivers are a critically important part of the healthcare for individuals with dementia. To better equip family caregivers of loved ones in the early to moderate stages of Alzheimer’s Disease and related disorders, we are offering a specialized class series, entitled “The Savvy Caregiver.”

The Savvy Caregiver program is an evidence-based, 12-hour training provided over a six-week period, resulting in caregivers who possess greater confidence, greater understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia, and practical skills to improve and support care.

Those completing this nationally acclaimed course gain:

• Personal knowledge, skills & caregiving perspective
• Skills to assess abilities of their loved one with dementia
• Confidence to set and alter caregiving goals
• Strategies to manage activities of daily living
• Understanding of the disease progression
• Essential abilities to attend to self-care


Interested individuals MUST RSVP. Attendance at all six sessions is required. Please RSVP to Bobbie Babbage at 949.757.3758 or bobbie.babbage@alz.org

This event occurs EVERY THURSDAY starting from August 12 and ending on September 16.
