175,000 Oregonians are caring for an ailing loved one. Many of them are living with Alzheimer’s disease and they are living at home. If you’re the one caring for that person, free help is available. Shelly Edwards, a trainer with Oregon Care Partners and Cathy Meyer, a family caregiver, joined us to talk about the challenges of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s Disease and how OCP can help.
Oregon Care Partners provides a wide range of classes help you gain important knowledge and skills. They can provide this training at no cost to you, thanks to funding from the State of Oregon and collaborating individuals and organizations. Here’s just one of the upcoming FREE events:
