Alzheimer’s
Disease Foundation Malaysia (ADFM) will be conducting a one-day Training
Workshop on “ESSENTIALS OF DEMENTIA
CARE” for family caregivers / individuals who are involved in the care of people
living with Alzheimer’s dementia.
Participants
will benefit from this interactive video-aided training through experiential
learning and role play; and equip with the essential knowledge and practical
skills to understand and to effectively care for people affected by dementia.
