Dementia education for family and professional caregivers is central to our mission to serve as a resource and walk alongside those impacted by dementia and their families from diagnosis through end of life and after.
Our programs improve the lives and well-being of people living with dementia and their families by teaching families how to “live well with” rather than just deal with the disease.
We offer a variety of dementia education and caregiving programs from one-time classes to multi-session trainings with topics ranging from caregiver skill building to taking care of the caregiver to healthy brain aging.
To request a customized program or for questions contact Jaime Cobb Tinsley, V.P. of Dementia and Caregiver Education at 817-877-1199.
All educational programs and training classes are free of charge for family caregivers. Professional healthcare training can be curated for each organization seeking training. Pricing for professional education programs fluctuates based on organization needs, program length and outcomes.
Classes are offered on-demand, virtually and in-person at the James L. West Center for Dementia Care, and throughout the community. Please click here for our calendar of educational events, locations and times. To request a speaker for your group, please contact Jaime Cobb Tinsley, V.P. of Dementia and Caregiver Education at 817-877-1199.
Many of our programs can be accessed on-demand through James L. West Learn.
Our Senior Day Program is a great option for daytime care while the caregiver seeks respite, education or attends appointments for their own care. See our Senior Day Program page for more information. Reservations must be made in advance and payment provided at the time of the reservation.
Please contact Jaime Cobb Tinsley at caregiver@jameslwest.org or call 817-877-1199 to schedule a time for your group.
