This blog post will be of interest to those living in the San Francisco Bay Area, who are caring for those age 60 or older without dementia.
Northern California-based Family Caregiver Alliance (caregiver.org) is
organizing a free educational program called SHARE.
Within Brain Support Network, three types of caregivers are eligible —
* PSP caregivers not dealing with dementia
* CBD caregivers not dealing with dementia
* all MSA caregivers
The care receiver (person with a neurological diagnosis) must:
– Be over age 60
– Be living at home in the San Francisco Bay Area
– Have intact cognitive abilities – NO dementia
– Not be in the terminal stage of their disease
The caregiver will receive:
– 6 in-person home visits
– Learn effective communication skills
– Learn to reduce stress
– Learn to promote health
– Learn about long-term care management (make the most out of today
while planning for tomorrow)
