blue ribbon level family and community presentation
Good caregiving always recognizes the inclusion of family and the entire community at large as part of its service equation. This is never more essential than when dealing with Alzheimer’s, or any of the other estimated 100+ causes of dementia. In Alzheimer’s case studies, the primary caregiver is 68% more likely to die before the patient does; this perhaps best illustrates how devastating the implications of the disease are. Ms. Wayman will raise dementia awareness for family members and clients and will offer this vital training to those whose loved ones reside at home as well as in dementia-care communities and all individuals within the local community.
