Any advice provided during the study is intended to be general in nature and should not be used as a substitute for obtaining medical advice or treatment from a primary physician or other medical professional.
Participant Testimonials:
"Great presentation. Even though my mother does not needs assistance now, this knowledge will help me prepare for the next part of my caregiver journey." "Great presentation. I thought I knew all about what was going to be presented. I am glad I came anyway, because I learned a lot." "Great information. It will help us plan for the future. As my mother's disease progresses, we will have good plan. Right now she can still tell us what she wants."
