ALZHEIMER'S LOS ANGELES
Navigating Caregiving with the Savvy Caregiver Program
Alzheimer's Los Angeles offers the Savvy Caregiver program, a groundbreaking workshop designed to alleviate caregiver stress and enhance caregiving skills. This evidence-based educational series provides caregivers with essential tools for coping effectively and managing the challenges of caring for someone with dementia.
The Savvy Caregiver program comprises a comprehensive two-hour class that convenes weekly over six weeks, providing in-depth education on various aspects of caregiving. For those who might not be able to commit to this full course schedule, we also offer Savvy Caregiver Express, a condensed version meeting three times within three weeks.
Key Benefits:
Reduced Stress: Participants report lower feelings of stress and burden.
Enhanced Skills: Improved ability to manage care recipient behaviors positively.
Increased Confidence: More empowered caregivers who feel better equipped to handle challenges.
Irene N., whose husband has Alzheimer's, shares her experience:
I learned not to yell at him when he makes a mistake or doesn't follow my instructions, she says. After atting the class, I was more composed in such situations.
Previously, if her husband had strayed from their plans and walked home instead of wting with their dog outside a restaurant, Irene might have reacted angrily. However, she learned to understand that his actions were not about fault but rather the disease's impact. This insight helped her mntn calmness.
Alzheimer's Los Angeles has adapted Savvy Caregiver Express from its original version with permission by the University of Minnesota and Savvy Systems, LLC., ensuring quality education tlored to our community's needs.
