The JFS COMPASS team is proud to offer the Savvy Caregiver program to our COMPASS clients and members of the public who care for a family member with dementia.
Savvy Caregiver is an evidence-based, 10-week group training program to develop caregiving skill mastery for family members providing care for people with dementia. Program participants will increase their knowledge on the stages of dementia, common behavioral symptoms of dementia, and better managing their own level of caregiver stress. After completion of the class, students will be prepared to correctly plan and respond to behavioral issues related to dementia. The Savvy Caregiver program is facilitated by a licensed (LMSW) social worker with significant training in dementia and behavioral health.
Class size is limited to 15 participants in each class.
