Join us for a presentation by the Alzheimer’s Association and learn how to communicate effectively with your loved ones who are living with dementia. Dementia affects a person’s ability to communicate, making it hard to convey their wants and needs to the people around them. Caregivers can learn how to use a person-centered approach to communicate more effectively at any stage of the disease.
Topics in the program include:
- How dementia affects communication.
- Using a person-centered communication approach.
- Tips for communicating with family, friends and health care professionals.
Presentation followed by a session with special guest Laurette Klier, founder of Nana’s Books
