Knowledge, Power, Community: Managing Alzheimer's And Dementia For The Caregiver
MIAMI, July 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Brain Center, in partnership with the Miami, FL campus of the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS), is set to launch a powerful public education program to help nonprofessional caregivers of Alzheimer's patients provide better care and manage the stress that comes from their duties. The Brain Center's Alzheimer's Caregivers Course is designed for people with little to no healthcare experience, giving family Alzheimer's caregivers a vital support network as well as access to expert knowledge and resources. The first course will occur on Saturday, July 15th.
- Researchers predict 78 million people worldwide will live with dementia or Alzheimer's by 2030.
- These statistics underline the pressing need for access to high-quality education like that offered through the Brain Center's Alzheimer's Caregivers Course.
- Caregivers also get to take part in a high-tech simulation of life with dementia, called Dementia Live™, that will help them understand what their patients are feeling.
- USAHS believes the Brain Center's Alzheimer's Caregivers Course will also supplement their students' knowledge of healthcare roles and responsibilities.
