Supporting a Family Member with Memory Loss

Registration is closed for this event.

When an older adult has increased memory loss and other symptoms of Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia, it can be challenging for them and their family members.

This session will provide tips for how to effectively support the person with these issues, as well as for how family members can take care of themselves.
