A new, online educational platform offered by AgeWays Nonprofit Senior Services offers caregivers an easy way to get information and advice online. It’s also free!

Trualta’s learning modules, on subjects ranging from handling a loved one’s resistance to taking medications to managing pressure wounds can be read, listened to or watched. There are resources, articles, checklists, videos, quizzes, and webinars to choose from. There is a chat function so caregivers can learn from each other and support groups.

Trualta has recruited experts for the platform. For example, Teepa Snow, a renowned expert on dementia caregiving, offers her tips for a positive approach to caregiving.

Trualta keeps content up to date and adds new learning opportunities – in Spanish, too – each month.

To use Trualta, the family caregiver and/or the older adult (60 and older) must live in one of the six counties served by AgeWays (Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, and Washtenaw).

To sign up, visit ageways.trualta.com. You’ll be asked to answer a few eligibility questions and to create a login to enter the platform.

For additional information or questions, call 833-262-2200 or email trualta@ageways.org.
