Free Alzheimer's program for caregivers

Caregiver Survival Skills is a free educational series presented by the Mountain Caregivers Resource Group. January’s topic, “Living with Alzheimer’s – Middle Stage, Part 3,” will be presented by Dave Hoppe of the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter. This program will address behavior changes and safety issues.

By the middle stage of Alzheimer’s disease, it is obvious that "something is wrong" and that a medical evaluation is necessary. Sometimes the person with Alzheimer’s may be unaware of the decline. The unpredictability of the decline and changing ability of the person to function from day to day can increase caregiver stress.
