Somerset, NJ – June 22, 2011 – The Martin and Edith Stein Assisted Living Residence will be hosting an Alzheimer’s Association educational workshop on Wednesday, June 22, 2011 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The workshop will be on “Communication: The Key to Understanding Behaviors”
Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease may present challenges. The ability to make sense of difficult behaviors can make your job as a caregiver easier and may improve quality of life—for everyone involved. Learn how to avoid unnecessary arguments and recognize the triggers which may result in aggressive or risky behaviors. In addition, learn communication techniques to effectively respond to repetitive actions, recognition difficulties, and anxious or agitated feelings.
There is no fee for the program however if you are interested in attending we ask that you RSVP to the Alzheimer’s Association at 973-586-4300. Space is limited and dinner will be served at the event.
