Davis County Health Department’s Family Caregiver Support Program continues with the remainder of its ten-week series of classes for individuals caring for family members who are older or frail. These classes are free to the public and are offered each week at two locations. Individuals may attend at anytime during the series.

Presenters will discuss various topics such as home safety, tips for communicating with people with dementia, resources for caregivers, cardiac health, questions to ask regarding advance directives, how to design the life of a caregiver, and being prepared and organized.

The Tuesday classes begin at 1 p.m. at the Centerville Library (45 South 400 West, Centerville). Each Thursday class is a repeat of the Tuesday class and they start at 1 p.m. at the Heritage Senior Activity Center (140 East Center Street, Clearfield). No registration is required.
