What’s New This Month!
Effective Communication Strategies
facilitated by Gwen Rowland, Alzheimer’s Association
Friday, January 13 • 1 p.m.
Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other de- mentias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s. Please sign up.
