Free Resource Library
elumenEd's FREE library of resources for home and family caregivers
Make life with your loved one more livable
If you're finding yourself in the position of being a home and/or family caregiver, it's probably not your dream job. You probably didn't train for years, or get certifications, or shadow experienced caregivers for weeks before you rolled up your sleeves and got down to business. We're guessing you did what most home caregivers have to do: jumped in with both feet and hoped that if something bad happened that it wouldn't be while you were in charge.
We've put this free library together so you can get your feet under you with the information and techniques that a few lucky professional caregivers are trained on, and other caregivers learn through years of trial and error. If you enjoy these training materials, check out our paid content as well. If knowledge is the best weapon you can have in this fight, you've come to the right place.
The more knowledge we have, the better prepared we are to face the road ahead. This course covers, in layman's terms, the causes of dementia, the different kinds of dementia, and what we can (and can't) do to combat this disease.
