Dementia Live (A Wow Experience)

Because it’s frightening to take care of someone that you don’t understand. This is an individualized non senior training open to the community on how to interact and cope with someone with Dementia. Dementia Live offers a unique inside-out understanding of dementia and aging. Participants will gain a heightened awareness of the challenges faced by those who live with dementia. You will learn tips and tools to improve communication and care. The training is being held at South Iredell Senior Center on Fri., July 21 starting at 11 a.m. Only four individuals will go through the 30 minute personalized training experience at a time, so space is very limited and you must pre-register by Wed., July 19 to receive your reserved time slot. This FREE workshop is being provided as a means of educating and preparing the non-senior community in working with or caring for individuals with dementia. To accommodate work schedules, the workshop is being held during the lunch hours of 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and each personalized training session is only 30 minutes long.
