Dementia Program: VIRTUAL The Dementia Brain

Leader: Lora Gerard, MPA

This is a two-part series: Tuesdays from 10 to 11:30 am on October 14 and 21

Dementia is often equated with ‘memory problems.’ While this is an important component, there are many other changes that happen to the brain. These changes impact how the person living with dementia experiences the world around them.

We will learn about changes that impact the sensory systems, such as vision and hearing, and strategies to provide support through these changes. This will include modifications to the home environment that may help. We will also discuss how changes to the brain may impact the person in other ways, such as impulse control and the ability to understand speech.

This is a two-week series.  When you register for the first session, you are enrolled in both weeks.  You will be sent the zoom link one hour before the first class starts.
