Savvy Caregiver® advanced program

How It Works

After completing Savvy Caregiver, family caregivers often ask if there is additional programming they can complete to continue their educational journey. Savvy Advanced is a 4-week program designed for caregivers who have already completed the Savvy Caregiver 6-Week Program, Tele-Savvy, or Savvy Express programs.

Savvy Advanced trains caregivers to:

Focus on caregiving skills, knowledge, and attitudes.
Further refine their problem-solving and planning skills
Learn additional information about managing behaviors associated with the later stages of the disease
Further improve communications techniques
Gain additional behavioral guidance for their particular situation
Further improve caregiver self-care
Focus on future planning including later-stage and end-of-life choices and care.

How can I get trained to deliver Savvy Caregiver in my community?

Savvy Advanced trainers must first be trained in the full in-person (or virtual) Savvy Caregiver 6-Week Program. In addition, trainers must then complete a specialized Savvy Advanced training program in order to deliver Savvy Advanced.
