Caring for People Living with Dementia

Wednesday afternoons 1-3:00 PM, February 12, 19th, 26th, and March 5 at the Winthrop Public Library.

Minimum of 5 and Maximum of 12 participants. You can request respite care for your loved one (we will set up a Creative Aging art project in the room next door). Please let Kathy know if you are bringing someone by emailing [email protected]

This four week, 8-hr course will offer all kinds of insight into dementia and how to provide loving, respectful care for people living with dementia. The key is education and approaching care with creativity, compassion, and understanding. We’ll also cover ways to take care of ourselves as caregivers.
