Are you providing care for a Military Veteran? Are you worried about your parent or your spouse’s memory? We are looking for individuals who are caring for a Military Veteran with dementia to attend free trainings starting August 19^th.

Caregivers will learn ways to manage behaviors, improve caregiving skills, handle everyday activities more easily and take care of yourself to better care for your loved one. Caregiver resources and the effects of Dementia will also be addressed.

Trainings are held once a week from 11:30-3:00 for 5 weeks at Area Agency on Aging of Western Michigan (1279 Cedar NE, Grand Rapids, MI 40503). The class is free, but you must register at registration@aaawm.org. Lunch is provided and free respite can be arranged during the training hours.
