I can’t say enough about how valuable these Savvy Caregiver classes are for our community. There are new classes coming up for family and friends, as well as one for professional caregivers. I urge you to consider attending if you are caring for friends or family members or anticipate doing it soon.
A new Savvy Caregiver Training in Gainesville starts on Thursday, Sept. 4 at the offices of Elder Options (100 SW 75th Street, Gainesville). This is a free, six-week training for persons who are caregivers for family members and friends with any kind of dementia. Tell your friends.
Savvy Caregiver Training for paid caregivers is scheduled for Friday Aug.15 & 22. It is a 12-hour, two-day training from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm. It will be held at Elder Options, (100 SW 75th, Suite #301, Gainesville). At the end of these 12 hours each participant will received a certificate they can use to obtain credits toward required dementia training in their organizations. It is open to all home health aides, CNA’s, nurses, therapists, social workers or any other who work with persons with dementias. The instructor has a DOEA license for ALF certification.
