SAN ANTONIO - The Caring for the Caregiver Program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio School of Nursing has been recognized with a national award for its exceptional education and support for families living with dementia.
The C4CP was honored with a 5TH Annual Maude’s Award at a ceremony in Seattle. This award recognizes innovations that enhance the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, as well as their caregivers. The Maude’s Awards were established in 2019 by Richard Ferry, co-founder of management consulting firm Korn Ferry International, to honor his wife who was diagnosed with dementia six years earlier.
“Our Caring for the Caregiver Program was established in response to community-identified critical unmet needs to support family caregivers,” said Roxana Delgado, PhD, MS, professor and director of the program. “This mission-driven, multi-service program provides education to support the transition into the caregiving role. The education and skills-training approach enhances knowledge and builds caregiver confidence, and capacity in performing complex care tasks.
