Class for Alzheimer Caregivers in Ohio
____________________________________________________________________________________
Are you providing care at home for your family member with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia?
If so, we invite you to take part in the Caregiver Knowledge and Skills Project.
The Caregiver Knowledge and Skills Project is a research study being conducted by the University Memory and Aging Center of Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
The goal of the study is to train caregivers in techniques for caring for family members with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia and to evaluate the success of these techniques.
Participating caregivers will:
•Take part with other family caregivers in a series of workshop sessions designed to help caregivers develop new knowledge and skills, and in a follow-up program designed to extend and enhance the benefits of the workshop; and
•Answer questions periodically about their well being, their experiences with and attitudes toward caregiving, and their opinions about the project.
There are no costs for participation in the study.
The next class is being scheduled. To learn more, please contact Nancy at 216-844-6357 or nancy.catalani@case.edu .
