Why we know this works

We love this course because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we see caregivers pour everything into late stage care while quietly wondering if they are still reaching the person they love. Can you still connect with someone in late stage Alzheimer's? Yes, and this free two-part Alzheimer's Association series shows you how, with caregivers and professionals sharing ways to monitor care, find resources, and create meaningful moments even when words are mostly gone. Follow the link, add it to your cart on their website, and watch both parts at no cost.

It is especially important for spouses and adult children providing hands-on care at home or partnering with a facility in the final stage of the disease. If your loved one is earlier in the disease, start with the early or middle stage courses in this same series so the strategies match where you actually are.
