Join us for this specially designed educational program for caregivers of people living with dementia. This interactive class using the Virtual Dementia Tour® helps caregivers understand the challenges people living with dementia face on a daily basis. Using Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach® teaches HOW to live in a relationship with someone that has dementia.
Are you or your loved one experiencing a "senior moment" or is some form of irreversible dementia occurring? How can you make a determination and what can you do about it? Dementia is a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common type, but there are others such as Vascular, Frontaltemporal, Lewy Body, Parkinson's. Learn what it means to have dementia and how to make the best choices for you and your loved one. Receive experience-based answers to your questions and practical tools, tips, and techniques to be more effective. The useful information about hospitals, physicians, medications, treatments, home care agencies, long term care facilities, legal protections, financial planning, and community resources let you take steps now to prevent future problems. Helping you help your loved one in a safe supportive manner through all types of dementia related issues is what this class seeks to do.
Each session may be taken as a stand-alone class. However, there is much merit in taking them all. Individual registration is required for each session. The class and materials are free.

Communication is more than just talking and listening, it's about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia progress in their journey, care partners need to learn to adapt their communication strategies to the person's cognitive changes. You will learn how to communicate with all senses and effectively decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia. You will gain strategies to help you connect and communicate during each stage of Alzheimer's disease.
