Who is SAVVY for? Any family or friend caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive dementia. What is SAVVY? Savvy Caregiver is a proven curriculum developed by Dr. Kenneth Hepburn and colleagues at the University of Minnesota. Grounded in research, this educational series teaches strategies, practical real-world skills and helps to reduce stress, both in the caregiver and the person for whom care is being provided. Savvy Caregiver increases the caregiver’s sense of competence and well-being even though there may be little experience. The course will provide a base of dementia knowledge and cover a variety of related caregiving topics and information.
