Caring Well: A Caregiver Education and Resource Event

About: 

• This event is hosted by the Dementia Friendly Coalition of Madison.

Caring for someone with dementia or cognitive changes at home can be both rewarding—and challenging. This community education event will share best practices for daily routines and home safety, along with community-based resources. We will have light refreshments and a host of partners to share about their programs and resources and even take you through some hands-on experiences.
