Are you a caregiver who is struggling with your caregiving journey? Would you like to be connected with other caregivers so you can share what works and what doesn’t?
Your Key To Senior Living Options is proud to be sponsoring The Savvy Caregiver Training.
Savvy Caregiver is a six-week training designed for caregivers who assist family members or friends with Dementia and/or Alzheimer’s Disease. The course is free to all family caregivers, but you need to register!
The Savvy Caregiver Program is a unique approach to family caregiver education. The program offers ideas gathered from many disciplines and sources. Throughout the series, caregivers are urged to learn, develop, and modify approaches they can use to lessen their own stress and improve their particular caregiver situation.
