Event Description: Alzheimer's Disease affects over five million people in America today, but did you realize that 50% of these individuals are being taken care of at home by an aging spouse? Did you also know that 75% of these spouses are doing it alone without adequate support or knowledge? The statistics on these family caregivers are grim and reflect that their own health declines rapidly when caretaking a loved one. Why does this happen? A significant reason is lack of knowledge on what to expect as the disease progresses, how to adequately plan care and how to find resources. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, then this class is for you. Come spend a few hours and learn all about the stages of dementia, how to interact and make meaningful connections with your loved one, where to find resources, and most importantly why it is critical you take excellent care of yourself. This course offers no healthcare CE. Find out how your tuition can be paid for through a grant through JCCC by calling 913-469-3811. Course fee: $96
