Virtual Q&A: Veterans Benefits for Seniors
Join us for a virtual, interactive discussion on how to set limits in caregiving while still providing excellent care for your loved one. Those caring for seniors selflessly devote their time, energy and financial resources to making life better for a loved one, whether they are simply aging or struggling with a challenging health diagnosis. Despite their good intentions, many caregivers unintentionally take on too much, putting their own health and well-being at risk. When caregivers develop “the martyr syndrome” and are reluctant to look for or accept help, the consequences can be devastating. We’ll discuss useful tools and strategies to combat this syndrome.

Learn about the warning signs of dementia in our video below, and take our complimentary “Is This Dementia?” quiz so you can assess the signs and determine your next steps.
