(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Understand the beginnings of Alzheimer’s Disease and know the steps for effective, compassionate care through a virtual program series by the Alzheimer’s Association Greater New Jersey Chapter, to be presented by the Ocean County Library. “Living with Alzheimer’s for Caregivers: Understanding Early Stage” will take place online on Wednesday, November 2, 9, and 16. Each program begins at 2:00pm.

Debby Montone, RN, CDP, CDSGF will explain signal symptoms, effective resource planning, describe components of a care team and strategies for collaboration among team individuals.  

In addition to her standing as a registered nurse, Debby Montone is certified as a community educator and a Support Group Facilitator for people with dementia. 

“I have worked with the Alzheimer’s population for many years in assisted living, in dedicated units and in a dementia daycare setting,” she said. “I developed my love for this population because of several family members including a special cousin who had Down’s syndrome and Alzheimer’s later in life.”
