Caregiver Education Series: Assistive Technology Support for Caregivers
Join Lyngblomsten Community Services for a presentation about how assistive technology (AT) can be used as a tool to ease symptoms experienced with dementia and to relieve caregiver stress. Presenters will discuss how AT can help people with dementia feel safer, more competent, more independent, and more successful with daily tasks in order to remain in their homes longer. Attendees will encounter multiple examples that can be implemented by the caregiving partner to enhance or simplify the means in which they watch, listen, and care for the person they support across the progression of the disease. AT devices will be available for participants to view and try out.
The event will be held at Lyngblomsten at Como Park, in the Community Room: 1415 Almond Ave., St. Paul, MN 55108. Parking is available in the visitors’ lot outside the main entrance.
Registration: Registration is required by Monday, June 1, by filling out the form online at Lyngblomsten.org/ATCaregiving. Contact Lisa Brown with questions at (651) 632-5320 or [email protected].
Cost: No fee. Following the presentation, all participants will receive a letter asking them to consider making a suggested contribution.
