Working together in South East Ontario to link individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia to a community of learning, services and support.

LEARNING SERIES

Each series is designed to present material appropriate to a particular stage of the Alzheimer journey, from diagnosis and adjustments in daily living while at home, through changes in care needs, and beyond.

Guest speakers, with expertise in different topics, will enhance the learning experience.

First Steps for those diagnosed and their families A 5-part learning series for those newly diagnosed and their care partners.  The focus is on adjusting to the reality of the diagnosis and making plans for the future.
Next Steps for Families A 5-part learning series for caregivers only.  Similar to First Steps.
Care Essentials A 4-part learning series for caregivers with specific strategies on managing day-to-day care, stress, changes in behaviour, accessing community resources.
Options for Care A learning series for caregivers covering the issues relating to placement in long term care - how the systems works, how to prepare for the change in living arrangements.
Care in Later Stages A 3-part learning series for caregivers with a family member in long term care or palliative care, covering end-of-life issues.
