September Events
September 10th 1:30-2:45: Tips for Dementia Caregiving at home. Due to COVID-19, there are fewer supports outside the home for loved ones with Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias. Many caregivers had to quickly change their daily routines and take on longer hours of hands-on care. In this free online session, we will provide tips, resources, and strategies from Community VNA's Alzheimer's Assistance Program invite caregivers to share their experiences recommend activities for loved ones living with dementia Register Now: http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07eh7s2ji92db928ac&llr=dcpna67ab Or call 774.203.1307 (see attached flyer as well)
