Our program
We recognize the care for a person with a chronic illness or disability is not complete without addressing the needs of the caregiver.
Focusing on caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, Caring for the Caregiver is dedicated to improving the quality of life for family caregivers and those they care for with evidence-based services, support, education and research with value on the caregiver’s health, skills and resilience.
This program is offered through the School of Nursing at UT Health San Antonio.
Bringing hope to caregivers
We are happy to be partnering with Vikki Carr to promote our Caring for the Caregiver program. If you know someone who can benefit from our caregiver classes, please contact us.
