3-part Education Series - "Living With Alzheimer's" for those with early stage and caregivers begins Jan. 26

Living with Alzheimer's Disease:  Coping and Caring is a program for both the person diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's disease and caregivers.  The person with the diagnosis and the caregiver attend the sessions at the same time.

For Caregivers:
When someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, friends and family have many questions. What does the
diagnosis mean? What kinds of plans need to be made? What resources are available to help? As the
disease progresses, new questions reflect growing needs for skills, programs and services. Join us for
this series of programs that provide answers to the questions that arise in the early, middle and late
stages of the disease. Hear from those directly affected and learn what you need to know, what you need to plan, and what you can do at each point along the way.

For those with a diagnosis of early stage Alzheimer's disease:
The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is life-changing and leads to many questions.  What will this mean for me and my family?  How do I plan for the future?  Where can I get the help I need?  Join us for this three-part program where you will hear from others who have been where you are.  We will discuss what you need to know, what you need to plan, and what you can do as you navigate this chapter in your life.

TIme: 2:00pm to 4:00pm
