Daily Care of Dementia – An Online Caregiver Workshop

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be challenging. Understanding the brain changes experienced by the person living with dementia can help caregivers to anticipate and overcome barriers to meeting their loved one’s needs. Using recommendations based on occupational therapy principles and evidence-based practice, this free, online workshop will discuss strategic supports to help with activities like bathing, dressing and toileting, and offer the opportunity for caregivers to troubleshoot daily challenges of caregiving for a person living with dementia.

Presenter is Elizabeth Brandenburg, a Kettering College Occupational Therapy Doctoral Student.

This topic is also presented as an in-person workshop 11am-Noon on Friday, March 15, at the Kettering Years Ahead Health Center, 1745 E. Stroop Road, Kettering. This in-person workshop requires separate registration from the online March 13 workshop. Please contact Mary Hairston for more information.
