Follow a caregiver’s journey in our education program by phone
Join us on December 13, from 12 – 1 p.m. for an Educational Program by Phone on “Caregiver’s School of Hard Knocks: One Man’s Journey.” Caring for someone with dementia can take everything you have, and then some. Author Brent Worthington recalls the lessons learned while caring for his grandmother as she lived with dementia for 6½ years. Brent’s stories are poignant, sad, humorous, instructional, and sure to provide lessons for fellow caregivers.
