MADISON, Wis. — Agrace knows that caring for a loved one with dementia can be both rewarding and challenging, and that caregivers often find themselves searching for guidance and help. To support any person providing care or navigating this journey, Agrace is offering Learning to Live with Dementia,a comprehensive education series.
The Learning to Live with Dementia education series consists of eight classes taught by experienced Agrace staff who have experience caring for people with dementia and by experts from the community. These sessions provide valuable insights into the unique needs of individuals living with dementia and offer caregivers a space to learn, ask questions and connect with others who share similar experiences.
Classes are $20 each and take place at Agrace, 5395 E. Cheryl Parkway, Fitchburg, or online using Microsoft Teams. In April, Agrace is offering these three classes:
· “Legal and Financial Decisions” – Thursday, April 3, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
· “Facility Support when You Need It” – Wednesday, April 16, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
· “Living Alone with Dementia” – Wednesday, April 30, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Whether you’re new to caregiving or have been supporting a loved one for years, these classes will help you navigate legal and financial planning, options for facility care and strategies to help individuals who are living alone with dementia. You do not need to be receiving Agrace services to attend—these classes are open to any caregiver looking for guidance and support.
Attend all eight classes for $100 or register for an individual class for $20. To register, visit Agrace.org/Dementia. For questions, contact DementiaSupport@Agrace.org or call (608) 276-4660.
