In Their Shoes

The Basics: Memory Loss, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Wednesday, October 11

Healthy Choices for the Holidays
Wednesday, November 8
Proper nutrition is important to keep the body and mind strong and healthy. Regular, nutritious meals may become a challenge for people as they grow older and those with chronic health conditions. The holiday season can result in additional stress and not eating right. Attend this lecture to learn how to implement healthy holiday eating strategies during the upcoming holidays. Free food samples!
All sessions will be held from 2:00-3:00pm at Alden Estates of Shorewood, 710 Black Road in Shorewood. Light refreshments will be served.
Since any form of memory loss and dementia can be a challenging diagnosis, it is important to learn helpful tips to interacting with someone who has memory care needs. Everyone with memory care needs experiences the condition differently. The needs of each person also will change as their dementia progresses. Learn how therapy can help individuals with dementia and how to better engage your loved one with memory care needs.
