DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) — Nearly half of those who are caregivers for an older adult do so for someone with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. Which dramatically impacts their health, according to the CDC.
The Macon County Health Department is addressing the problem with a Stress-Busting Dementia program for family caregivers.
The free program will teach stress management techniques, coping strategies, and relaxation tips for caregivers. Donations are accepted.
Participants will meet once a week for 90 minutes for nine sessions. They are accepting groups of up to 8 people.
To register or acquire more information, call 217-423-6550 and choose option 4.
