Meadowlark, UFM, and K-State Global Campus have teamed up to offer a new course titled Caregiving for Your Loved One with Dementia.

The number of people affected by dementia and memory-support needs is growing every day, and as a result, the need for caregiver resources is evident. This six-week class will be offered through four online modules and two half-day live trainings. The lead instructor is Dr. Matt Floersch, a Manhattan-area primary-care physician who has many years of experience working with aging adults. Dr. Floersch is joined by several guest instructors, including: Heather Sloan, APRN; Michelle Haub, MS, CCC-SLP, Bridget Larkin, LMSW; and Rita Harsch, Financial Counselor.

The class will begin on Monday, Oct. 7, 2019. Enrollment is open now and can be completed by visiting https://noncreditksu.catalog.instructure.com/browse/k-stateglobalcampusnoncreditprograms. The live training sessions are scheduled for Monday, Nov. 4th, and Tuesday, Nov. 5th. The cost of the class is $75.

Caring for a loved one with memory-support needs can be an overwhelming, exhausting, and confusing experience. Let Meadowlark support you and your loved one in living your best life despite cognitive changes.

If you have any questions, please contact Sarah Duggan at sguge@meadowlark.org or by calling (785) 323-3878.
