Helping Caregivers through Education
The Area Agency on Aging 1B provides a series of educational opportunities for Caregivers. One of those programs is the Powerful Tools for Caregivers a program designed to help family caregivers in southeast Michigan and metro Detroit take care of themselves while caring for an aging or disabled relative or friend.
In partnership with the Area Agency on Aging 1B the Frenchtown Center for Active Adults has offered this program in the past and looks forward to offering the program in the future. Classes meet once a week for 6 weeks. Each class is an hour and 30 minutes long. While the caregiver attends classes the love one enjoys the benefit of the Dementia Adult Day program. Even though the program is always available for a visit, the class provides a wonderful opportunity for both the caregiver and their loved one to experience the program firsthand.
Here is just a few of the tools the class provides, and the caregiver can use right away.
