Throughout the summer, the Southborough Senior Center is hosting a special training program. The 6-part workshop will train people with a loved one suffering from Alzheimers or related dementia to become “Savvy Caregivers”.
It’s a free program, but registration is required.
Starting next week, sessions take place 9:30 – 11:30 am on Tuesdays.
Organizers offer to help participants:
- Understand the impact of dementia on both you and the person you are caring for.
- Learn the skills you need to manage daily life.
- Take control and set goals.
- Communicate more effectively.
- Strengthen family resources.
- Feel better about your caregiving.
- Take care of you.
Funding for the program was provided by a grant from the Administration For Community Living in collaboration with the MA Executive Office of Elder Affairs and Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley.
