SAVVY Caregivers: In their own voice

Carmen D., Savvy Caregiver and Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant 3

This is a journey you can not do alone. Amazing Place has taught me you need to be proactive in finding the tools you need. Everyone talks about dementia, but Amazing Place actually empowers you.

Carmen D., Savvy Caregiver and Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant

Carmen D., Savvy Caregiver and Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant 2

The Savvy Advanced class helped me identify the stages my husband was going through and taught me how to take care of myself, including having a circle of friends for support.

Carmen D., Savvy Caregiver and Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant

Berniece D., Virtual Savvy Caregiver Program Participant 3

Most resources out there are geared toward the patient. Amazing Place has my back as a caregiver. They help me figure out what I need to take care of my sister and make sure I am taking care of myself.

Berniece D., Virtual Savvy Caregiver Program Participant

Berniece D., Virtual Savvy Caregiver Program Participant 2

Knowing others who are going through similar challenges really helps. When things get hard, I know now that I have someplace to turn and they’ll help me through it.

Berniece D., Virtual Savvy Caregiver Program Participant

Jennifer C., Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant

I attended the Savvy Caregiver program online and learned useful strategies for me and my friends. We shared experiences so that we can help each other.

Jennifer C., Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant

Carmen D., Savvy Caregiver and Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant

When my husband was diagnosed, my kids found Amazing Place. As a family, we took the four-session Savvy class which made us more comfortable in the roles and strategies we all would need to play in caring for their dad.

Carmen D., Savvy Caregiver and Savvy Caregiver Advanced Program Participant

Berniece D., Virtual Savvy Caregiver Program Participant

When my sister was diagnosed, I realized I needed to know more about dementia. The Savvy Caregiver class helped me understand the phases of dementia and gave me the help I’ll need as a caregiver.
