getting trained to care for persons living with Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's Dementia Hands-On Care DVD: "The Art of Caregiving" with Care Expert Teepa Snow http://tinyurl.com/jetswp2

A quote from: Ethelle Lord, DM "I found something worse than
receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer's. It is not getting the workforce
trained in time to care for persons living with Alzheimer's whether
at home or in a care center." Ethelle Lord is President
remembering4you.com based in Maine

Pines Education Institute of S.W. Florida
{QUOTE}Caring for that special someone is a task that becomes harder with each day. You want to give the best possible care and quality of life, but wonder at times whether there is something you are missing.

Teepa Snow will show you in "The Art of Caregiving" how to provide the most comfort for mind, body, and soul for your person with dementia. She provides detailed, easy-to-follow explanations for daily tasks, such as helping to eat, move, bathe, or getting dressed.
Her program is a great learning tool for anyone, from beginning in-home caregiver to experienced professional.

Teepa's insights are based on a foundation of science, mixed with a genuine dose of love and understanding for people with dementia.

Learn with Teepa and share in the experience of what a positive, person-centered care approach can do for you and your loved one.
