Caregiving for Alzheimer's: A Personal Journey

The stress of caregiving is a major concern for someone whose loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. This course will provide an overview of the issues, the impact of the diagnosis and the resources available to the caregiver. We will discuss coping strategies for the patient and caregiver. We will introduce specific issues typically discussed between the caregiver, loved one, lawyer and financial planner. These may include advance directives, end-of-life choices and their ethical issues, changes to a will or trust and strategies for dealing with medical expenses. Classes will consist of lectures with time for questions. The PowerPoint slides used will be sent out after each class.
