What to expect when Mom has Alzheimer's

This course guides adult children of people living with Alzheimer’s through the early, moderate and late stages of the disease.

Course modules average three minutes in length. That makes them perfect for busy professionals to consume 24×7, whenever it’s most convenient.

The course is taught by Barbara Ivey, whose mother had early onset Alzheimer’s and whose father cared for her mom. Barbara helps you prepare for the impact of Alzheimer’s on the person living with the disease, the person in the home caring for them, and the adult child(ren) – especially those who live far away.

Alzheimer’s is going to change your loved one’s cognitive and physical functions, and their emotions. Rather than being caught by surprise again and again, set aside a few minutes a week to prepare now. Be calmer and healthier during your family’s journey, and better able to make sound decisions along the way.

Topics include:

· Early-stage Alzheimer’s

· Moderate stage Alzheimer’s

· Late-stage Alzheimer’s

· Mom’s changing abilities.

· Why a safe home matters.

· How Mom communicates through her behavior.

· Why you still need to visit Mom throughout her Alzheimer’s.

· How to arrange for caregiving breaks for Dad.
