TOLEDO — Taking care of a loved one’s safety, nutrition and health concerns from a far can be challenging, but the Alzheimer’s Association is offering a virtual class to help caregivers.
Caregiving from a Far, a virtual webinar, is being offered on June 15 and June 25 to help caregivers whose loved one has dementia or Alzheimer’s and who does not live close to the caregiver.
During the one-hour program, presenters will explain the differences between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and talk about the changes that take place in the three stages of the disease. Since Alzheimer’s disease is progressive, the webinar will help participants understand what services are needed for individuals during each stage.
Both classes are from 5 to 6 p.m. and are free to the public. To register, please call 800-272-3900.
If you need immediate services, the Alzheimer’s Association’s community resource finder, at alz.org/crf, provides zip-code specific information on topics such as care at home, community services, and housing options.
