Caregiver Education | Alzheimer's Disease Research Center | UC Davis Health

The UC Davis Alzheimer's Disease Research Center offers a variety of other classes including an in-person class for newly diagnosed patients and caregivers to share knowledge on types of dementia, stages, treatment, and next steps for planning.
