I would check with a local non-profit in your area, such as your Alzheimer's organization or your senior commission. Also the Family Caregivers Support Program, though your state's aging services would likely have something you could use.
Good luck,

The Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) has released a number of very informative videos that are ideal to use for presentations to both family caregivers and healthcare professionals. AFA's "Your Time to Care" Series includes a number of DVDs pertaining to dementia-specific populations and geared toward the home setting. The DVDs in the series include 1) an understanding of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, principles of personal care, behavioral management, and safe home care 2) wandering behaviors and steps to ensure the safety of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and 3) medication management. These are available for purchase at AFA's E-store at www.alzfdn.org. You may also want to consider AFA's DVD-based training and qualification program for all levels of healthcare professionals called Dementia Care Professionals of America (DCPA). The provider program features a video including Basic Understanding of Dementia, Management of Activities of Daily Living, and Management of Behavioral Problems, Principles of Basic Care. For more information and to purchase these DVD, you can call toll-free at (866) AFA-8484 of visit www.careprofessionals.org.
