Blog: It Takes a Village - Extra Support Helps Dementia Caregivers Thrive
The Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) has published a blog, "It Takes a Village: Extra Support Helps Dementia Caregivers Thrive," as part of a new series that profiles the evidence-based programs found in Best Practice Caregiving.
Best Practice Caregiving is a free online database that helps health care and social service organizations identify, compare and adopt best-fit programs for their clientele and community. It contains details on over 40 vetted, proven dementia caregiving programs, including the UCLA Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care (UCLA ADC) Program.
The blog describes the effect a dementia caregiving program at UCLA is having for Marilyn and her caregiver husband. “When we first got Marilyn’s diagnosis about eight years ago, she was dealing with severe depression and behavioral issues. After enrolling into the ADC Program, all these issues were resolved.”
