Telephone Workshops in Spanish Help Families
Care for Ill or Elderly Loved-ones

A one-hour telephone workshop will provide some simple ideas and strategies to help families caring for someone with memory loss.

This workshop, "Caring for Someone with Memory Loss", will answer questions and offer suggestions for giving the best possible care.
