A New Normal: Continuing Conversations about a Loved One's Dementia

Memory Loss & Dementia – What Now? What Next?

Mal Allard, The Director of The Courtyard at Youville Place, will describe the basics of dementia, a disease that alters the thinking and perceptions of those affected. Signs and symptoms are diverse, often beginning with memory loss and progressing to more severe difficulties, mood swings and moment-to-moment confusion. This discussion will guide attendees through the process of identifying the disease, understanding symptoms, establishing resources and creating a long-term care plan.
