The Lakes Region Library, 1511 Druid Road in Inverness, will host an ABC of Dementia workshop from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 on October 25, 2017.  It is free and open to the public.

The workshop, to be conducted by Debbie Selsavage, President of Coping with Dementia LLC, will define Alzheimer’s and dementia, explain how dementia affects individuals, discuss ways to interpret dementia behaviors for better communication and results, and show how compassion and the proper use of voice, approach, and appropriate touch can result in more effective and less stressful caregiving.
