Some of the programs we can offer include "An Overview of Dementia" and "When is Memory Loss Serious." Please contact the office nearest you to schedule a presentation.
Annual Educational Symposia
Each year, the Alzheimer's Association - South Carolina Chapter sponsors several educational conferences. These conferences feature opportunities for professionals in the senior care industry to obtain continuing educational units while refreshing and upgrading their skill working with dementia clients. Family caregivers also benefit from educational opportunities, and no-cost in-home care can be obtained through the chapter to attend. For more information on obtaining a sitter for your loved one so that you can attend one of our educational conferences, call the Alzheimer's office nearest you.
