Caregiver Support – While you care for them, we care for you!

Eliza Bryant Village’s monthly Caregiver Support Group provides a safe, supportive space for caregivers to connect with new friends and learn tools and resources for coping with stress, mangaging anxiety and caring for aging adults. Our Social Worker, Denise Rembert, will provide a welcome and overview about Eliza Bryant Village’s Inez Myers Adult Day Care & Senior Outreach Programs, as well as additional Village services, before introducing the evening’s facilitator.

Our Caregiver Support Group meets on the last Thursday of every month at 6:00 p.m. These meetings are free and open to the public. You do not need to have a loved one in our care to attend. We invite all caregivers to join us to connect with our professional guest speaker, meet our staff and tour our Adult Day facility.

Respite is available upon request. Dinner is provided.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Denise Rembert, Outreach Social Worker, at (216) 658-2344.

Effective Communication Strategies

Communication is more than just talking and listening- it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you to connect and communicate at each
stage of the disease.

Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost. However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage. Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.
