Caring for Older Adult Loved Ones with Alzheimer's? 

Join our series of 1-hour presentations on caregiving and Alzheimer's.

The Alzheimer's Association and the University of Louisville Trager Institute are offering informational sessions
for people taking care of older loved ones.


At this Information Session:

Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related Behavior - 
Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage. Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.


These three sessions are being hosted on the virtual platform Zoom and will be held from 12 noon to 1pm.
