Savvy Caregiver Program

The Savvy Caregiver Program is a FREE, six-session training series for friends or family caregivers. For most caregivers, caregiving itself is a new role, one for which training is needed, just as you would receive training for any new job. The Savvy Caregiver Program helps caregivers better understand the changes their loved ones are experiencing, and how to best provide individualized care throughout the progression of Alzheimer’s or dementia.  Caregivers will gain new knowledge and a fresh outlook on their caregiving.

This six-week Savvy Caregiver training session will be held at 1000 Southern Artery starting September 10. The training will be held on Monday afternoons in Classroom One from 2:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M. (September 10– October 22).

To register or for more information you can contact Barbie Rugg at South Shore Elder Services 781-848-3939 x471.

 Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the Administration for Community Living in collaboration with the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs and Elder Services of the Merrimack Valley.
