In Connecticut 178,000 people are caregivers of individuals with Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, providing 203,000,000 hours of unpaid care. Half of all caregivers to older adults are employed either part-time or full-time, and many times struggle to manage their caregiving responsibilities and their job. In this presentation you will learn:
- Who Dementia caregivers are (you might be surprised)
- How Dementia care impacts employees and employers
- Strategies to help caregivers improve their well-being and the care they provide
