Part 1: Our Aging Brain: What is Typical? When to be Concerned?

Wednesday, Oct 2nd – 2-3PM

What is normal and when should we be concerned?
If thinking and memory problems arise, can it be something reversible? YES!

Join us to find out more about the causes of these symptoms, what you can do to improve them, and how to know if it’s something more serious.

Part 2: Progression of Dementia – What Skills Remain

Wednesday, Oct 9th – 2-3PM

Often the progression of dementia is measured in stages that focuses on what skills are lost. This approach does not give us tools to help provide care and support. Instead, we will look at what skills remain and shift our support accordingly by using Teepa Snow’s GEMS State Model.
