How It Works

The original and most common version of Savvy Caregiver is the 6-week workshops that are offered through in-person or virtual small group sessions. Workshop sessions are typically 2 hours in length and are held at the same day and time over the six weeks.

Savvy curriculum empowers caregivers by enabling them to:

  • Gain a better understanding of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
  • Appreciate the need for self-care strategies.
  • Learn and practice skills to successfully provide daily activities of ‘Contented Involvement’ for their family member living with dementia.
  • Adopt ways to resolve key dementia care decisions
  • Engage family and other resources for care-related assistance and support.

Savvy Caregiver 6-Week Program materials include:

  • Detailed trainer’s manual
  • Caregiver’s manual for home use
  • Training videos
  • Training PowerPoint class slides
  • Handouts
