“An educated and confident family caregiver who knows what to do in their role is really the absolute best medicine for the care receiver.” Dr. Carolyn Clevenger
Do you know extensive research specifically focused on dementia caregivers is being conducted? Are you aware of innovative studies designed to equip family caregivers with navigation skills? Now you will, and you’ll be learning about valuable opportunities to strengthen your caregiving journey.
We are Sue Ryan and Nancy Treaster. As caregivers for our loved ones with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia, we are continuously learning new ways to support our health and well-being, and that of our care receivers. We recently discovered the groundbreaking dementia caregiver research, the CANDO Study, Dr. Carolyn Clevenger, DNP, RN, GNP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, FAANP, FGSA, FAAN, Professor at the Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing is conducting. When most people think about dementia research, they focus on studies involving people living with dementia or pharmaceutical treatments. This crucial area of research focuses on supporting the family caregivers themselves.
Dr. Clevenger is a professor and gerontological nurse practitioner who is nationally recognized as an education leader in advanced practice nursing and geriatrics. Carolyn founded, and directs, the comprehensive dementia care model called Integrated Memory Care (IMC), which provides memory and primary care in a single integrated approach for people living with dementia and their care partners.
