The Living Well Center for Excellence, in partnership with the Maryland Department of Aging and The Alzheimer’s Association, is excited to launch new caregiver training webinars this fall.
The Maryland Commission on Caregiving conducted the 2023 Maryland Caregiver Survey to better understand the experiences and needs of caregivers. Using the results of the survey, the Commission identified the priority topics for these trainings to ensure they are relevant and impactful for caregivers statewide.
This project is funded through the Administration for Community Living (ACL) Grant, administered by MDOA.
