Free program at Baptist Manor to help Alzheimer’s caregivers deal with challenging behaviors

BUFFALO, N.Y. (November 30, 2023) — The Western New York Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association will hold an educational program in the City of Buffalo for local caregivers who need assistance dealing with challenging behaviors caused by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.

The free program, “Understanding and Responding to Dementia-Related Behaviors,” will take place from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on December 13 at Baptist Manor, 276 Linwood Ave., Buffalo.

“Behavior is a powerful form of communication and is one of the primary ways for people with dementia to communicate their needs and feelings as the ability to use language is lost,” says Andrea Koch, director of education and training at the WNY Chapter. “However, some behaviors can present real challenges for caregivers to manage.”

The program will help caregivers learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges.

Participants can register online at bit.ly/BMDec13 or by calling 800.272.3900.
