FREE Nov. 16 Web Conference Provides Families with Answers about Home Care for Alzheimer’s Sufferers
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, nearly 11 million Americans are providing care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia without assistance. The non-profit National Private Duty Association (NPDA) has announced that it will host a family caregiver education web conference entitled Caring for Someone with Alzheimer’s at Home on Nov. 16, 2010, at 8 p.m. EST. The free live and interactive web conference will provide families with advice on steps to help them provide the necessary care.
"November is recognized as National Family Caregivers Month," said Sheila McMackin, president of NPDA.
