Alzheimer's Association workshop "Living with Alzheimer's: For Early-Stage Caregivers" Part One

This is Part One of a three-part series. Part Two will be held on July 19. Part Three will be held on July 26. **

Overview:
In the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease, families face new questions as they adjust. What does the diagnosis mean? What kinds of plans need to be made? What resources are available to help? Join us for this 3-part series to hear practical answers to the questions that arise in the early stage. Hear from those directly affected and learn what you can do to cope with the changes that come with an early-stage diagnosis.

This program is designed to provide care partners with the knowledge, tools and strategies needed to cope with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. 

Topics covered will include:
• Symptoms of the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease
• Accepting and adjusting to the diagnosis
• Legal, financial and resource planning that needs to be done in the early stage of the disease
• Components of a care team and ways to successfully work with each component
• Strategies to discuss issues, make decisions and plans, and cope with the new changes

Free. Registration requested.
