Dementia Caregiver Workshop

The UK Sanders-Brown Center on Aging, in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association and the Bluegrass Area Agency on Aging and Independent living (BGAAAIL), host quarterly Dementia Caregiver Workshops designed for those who are caring for someone with dementia. We work to provide quality dementia education that is accessible you can attend in-person or virtually via Zoom. The goal of the workshop is to provide a better understanding of the disease, provide strategies to help with daily care and become familiar with local resources.
