Another successful Interactive Community Education workshop was held on June 4th in the Okemos office. Topic was our newly introduced dementia program, AlzBetter, a unique, holistic approach to memory care at home. AlzBetter creates a meaningful and enjoyable day for our clients, based on activities that are individualized and appropriate for the client’s interests and current level of dementia. Special activities include proprietary books written specifically for people with dementia that match a client’s ability level, custom puzzles using client’s family pictures which match a client’s ability level, and music offered on a complimentary IPod (and portable speaker) loaded with a client’s favorite songs.
AlzBetter also offers advanced training to our Arcadia memory care caregivers, as well as education and Care Manual to family and other unpaid caregivers.
AlzBetter was enthusiastically received by all in attendance!
