This training explores the role of caregivers and how to help a person living with dementia take part in daily activities.

This is the first part of an education series that teaches caregivers how to navigate the responsibilities of caring for someone living with dementia.

Caregivers can register for individual courses to meet their needs or complete the entire series.

This training explores the role of caregivers and the changes they may experience, building a support team, and managing caregiver stress.

It will also focus on helping the person living with dementia take part in daily activities, providing the right amount of support, and balancing safety and independence while managing expectations.

About the branch

The 35,000 square foot Delaware Main Library is the oldest branch of our library system, which serves the public as well as houses a majority of our administrative offices. Located around the corner from downtown Delaware, it serves as our central branch for those on foot as well as those in a rush. 


The Main Library also hosts the Delaware County Genealogical Society. Genealogical Society volunteers are in the Library to assist researchers on limited dates and by appointment. 

 

DCDL welcomes all people to our programs and events. If you require ASL interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, please contact us at pr@delawarelibrary.org.
