Other Available Resources for Native American Elders, Caregivers, and Healthcare Providers

Savvy Caregiver in Indian Country Training Materials

Savvy Caregiver in Indian Country Training Materials

This training is designed for trainers working with American Indian and Alaska Native caregivers who care for an elder with memory loss and thinking problems (dementia). One of the main themes of the Savvy Caregiver in Indian Country Trainer’s Manual is to teach caregivers to know the stage of dementia corresponding to their loved one’s functioning. Knowing how to determine the stage allows the caregiver to use activates and tasks that fit the elder’s changing abilities.
