Effective Communication Strategies when Caring for Someone with Dementia

This is not a library sponsored event.

Purpose of Meeting

Effective Communication Strategies when Caring for Someone with Dementia – Communication is more than just talking and listening—it’s about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us in this 2-hour presentation to learn to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communication at each stage of the disease.
