The Alzheimer’s Association is offering a “Dementia Conversations” workshop at the West Custer County Library Community Room. Conversations with family members who are showing signs of dementia can be challenging and uncomfortable. The fear that may accompany these conversations can result in delays that have serious consequences for everyone.
Common difficult discussions covered include:
* Going to the doctor
* When to stop driving
* Making legal and financial plans
This is a free educational workshop that offers helpful tips to assist families in having honest and caring conversations. A good communication plan reduces the stress that can accompany dementia.
