LONG BRANCH – Monmouth Medical Center, in conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Association, will host a special three-part educational seminar on Living with Alzheimer’s Disease for the Caregiver: Middle Stage.
The seminars will be given from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Sept. 3, 10 and 17, in the Stanley Building, Room 206, at Monmouth Medical Center, located at 300 Second Ave.
During the middle stage of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia disorders, gaps in memory and thinking begin to make it more difficult for the individual to manage day-to-day activities like dressing, bathing and eating without assistance.
The program will offer information for caregivers about the symptoms and care needs of middle stage Alzheimer’s, techniques for managing behaviors and maximizing safety, relationship changes and supportive services available to help with caregiving responsibilities.
Personality, behavior and sleep patterns also continue to change. Family caregivers assume greater responsibility in managing not only the personal care and finances of the individual, but also in meeting the challenges of maintaining safety while creating a supportive environment.
This seminar is free however registration is required.
Additional information and registration are available by calling the Alzheimer’s Association at 973-586-4300.
