The challenges faced by caregivers of people with Cognitive Impairment and Dementia can feel 

overwhelming and without answer.  However, with education and support, a caregiver can learn a degree 

of mastery that will help build resilience and sustain them in a healthy caregiver role over the long-term. 

The Lincoln Home is hosting a 6-week series of 90-minute conversations that will provide practical solutions and new insights.  Each week will begin with an educational piece, and then a group conversation to discuss the current day-to-day issues of the group participants.

 

Topics covered may include learning skillful communications using the “Best Friends Approach” ™ to make life easier for you and for your loved one with dementia; behavioral challenges that are a result of the disease, and using “Best Friends” ™ 

 communication skills in difficult situations; managing the shifting roles and responsibilities between marital partners or parents and adult children; the progression of the disease, and how the caregiver role evolves over time; the role of Power of Attorney, and understanding Advance Directives; how to address driving safety and when driving privileges should stop; physical safety when moving or transferring your loved one.

 

This education and support series is completely confidential. Come with your questions and concerns Wednesdays, Jan. 8, 15, 22, 29, Feb. 5 & 12 from 4:00 – 5:30pm at The Lincoln Home, 22 River Road, Newcastle. Call to RSVP:  Steve Raymond, 207-563-3350 or email, steve@lincoln-home.org.
