Community Dementia Workshop

December 13, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm

First, join us to learn “What Happens Next?” Understanding the progression of dementia can help us to learn what to expect and how to better interact with those we care about. Follow the story of one family as they move through the stages of dementia. Learn along with them what works, what doesn’t work and how to keep the peace along the way.

Next, join in a discussion of “The Legal Aspects of Caregiving.” Get the answers to these questions and more:

What is a “POA” and why is it important?

When do I need to put legal documents in place?

Do I need to become a guardian?

And last, but never least, explore ways to combat “Caregiver Stress.”

Speakers:

Melanie Bunn, RN, MS, GNP

Jennifer Marshall Roden, Attorney

Ann Rostan

The event is free. Lunch & snacks will be provided.
