New caregiver resource website

I went to a Alzheimers of Tennessee caregiver class. It was for professionals,Students of nursing homes and regular folks like me.

I went to try to glean something about finance stuff as they had an eldercare lawyer speak, I got to ask my questions about my personal situation and left with questions anyway, they had a doctor who was fantastic, he was clearly an expert and offered great teaching about diagnosis, medicines and more. I got to ask him questions about my wife's current med regime. Stay the course for now is what I got.

And they had a person who offered very practical advice about caregiving strategies. Offering reasons for behaviors and simple solutions. I have a link below to her website. It's a non profit and free I browsed it real quick and wanted to offer that site.

It also turned out the the leaders from the mcf where my wife is were there.

Someone also said to me that I need to be speaking? I heard this at the last class I was at?

I wouldn't know where to begin.

Hope this is a helpful resource and I recommend any caregiver course from the Alzheimers association.
