May 8th from 3-4pm- "Normal Forgetfulness vs Dementia"- One of the biggest concerns of seniors is if their forgetfulness is something that they must worry about. What’s a normal part of aging vs concern for dementia? As we age, we do tend to forget some things here and there which is normal but how do you know if it’s something else? Join us for this enlightening discussion and have your questions answered.
June 12th from 3-4pm- "Signs, Symptoms and Stages of Dementia"- Dementia is a progressive disease which isn’t always the same for each person. Join us to learn what you could expect and what each stage looks like.
