This program will help to maintain independence and reduce isolation, all while maintaining the individual's current level of cognitive and physical. At the same time, this program assists caregivers with respite and offers caregiver support.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and find support on the journey of caring for someone with Dementia.
You'll have the opportunity to connect with other caregivers who understand the unique struggles and joys of this role and to ask questions during the Q&A session at the end of the program.
