The Empowered Caregiver Series - Part 1 - Supporting Independence

A person living with dementia often wants to stay independent for as long as possible. Caregivers can learn how to balance safety and manage expectations to support independence at every stage of the disease.

Topics in this program include:

  • How dementia affects independence
  • Four steps to help with daily activities
  • Tips to make activities meaningful
  • Providing the right amount of support

Please consider joining us for Part 2: "Responding to Dementia-Related Behaviors" on June 9th at 11am.

This program is presented by the Alzheimer's Association of Northeastern New York and supported by a grant from the New York State Department of Health.
