I’m grateful these courses are offered free of charge. There is a lot of info and there are so many resources out there, but finding them has proven difficult to me. I feel better informed on how to help my mom and we’re not alone in this.

I have used Oregon Care Partners website and information almost daily in my work environment and with my family and friends’ families. I share it everywhere I go because it’s a loving and wonderful way to help those who aren’t able to help themselves anymore.

This one class has improved our lives immeasurably. My wife has late-stage Alzheimer’s disease.

I love the in-person classes they are interactive and you meet others who have similar issues and experiences.

This class really opened up my eyes in trying to support my parents who not only suffer from pain issues but both are diagnosed with dementia.

I truly enjoyed the Oregon Care Partners medication course. I felt that the instructor gave great methods and techniques to not only handle medication management but gave good dementia caregiving skills as well.

I think that Oregon Care Partners is an amazing program that educates so many people each year. I’m glad they could help me understand the disease more.

One part that is very important to me is hearing about the experiences of other care-givers. I really appreciate the in-person classes.

Terrific information that crosses all different provider types and really good direction towards resources to pursue on my own and to share with co-workers.

I was new to the subject and this class has helped me cope with my wife’s dementia.

You could tell our presenter loved what she did. This information will help me have patience with my mom. Help me not to get frustrated when she will not wash her hair for 2 weeks. Help me remember who she is. I can learn from my mistakes.

This was my favorite training class because of the interactions with one another and it was so well organized. Great job!

Professional Caregiver, Adult Foster Home – DD, Lane County

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s almost 8 years ago and I have been the primary caregiver up until recently. Her care became too much for me to provide on my own and she has been moved to a memory care facility. The classes I attended that were presented by the Oregon Care Partners helped me very much in providing her care when I had her. Thank you for these free classes.

Having access to this great resource offered by Oregon Care Partners can only be beneficial for the caregiver and resident. Compassion, empathy and quality care should always be the emphasis in any care facility.
