Free Educational Film and Podcasts for Alzheimer's Family Caregivers

Katelyn Montgomery, The Copper Ridge Institute

The Copper Ridge Institute, affiliated with The Johns Hopkins University, is a leading provider of dementia research, care and education. The Institute has developed the first training resource of its kind for caregivers, providing a step-by-step method for caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. 

Available as a DVD and webcast, the FREE program, available at www.alzcast.org, recreates many of the daily situations that caregivers may encounter, and provides coaching for each of these activities based on best practices developed by The Copper Ridge Institute.

In the arena of Alzheimer's disease, the overwhelming emphasis has been on finding the cure. Little emphasis has been placed on researching effective care and teaching best practices for persons with memory impairment. The Copper Ridge Institute has taken a leadership role in the care arena. Fourteen years of clinical work and collaboration has enabled The Copper Ridge Institute to establish a program of care and treatment that brings dignity and a quality of life to those persons and families struggling with Alzheimer's disease. Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer’s Disease is a breakthrough program that will help many families faced with the daunting and emotionally charged task of caring for loved ones with dementia.

Take advantage of this free program by visiting the AlzCast website, where you can also find programs such as "Home and Institutional Care," "Workplace Issues for Caregivers" and other informative videos and podcasts.
