The CGH Health Foundation is hosting a Dementia Caregiver Coffee on Tuesday, November 28th from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Community Room at 2600 N. Locust St., Sterling.
We’ll be featuring Aileen Zei, Education & Community Volunteers Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter. During her presentation – “Effective Communication Strategies” – she will discuss how communication changes when someone is living with dementia/Alzheimer’s. Coffee, water and muffins will be served
As the disease progresses, individuals lose the ability to use words and Aileen will talk about how families/caregivers can find new ways to connect.
Learn how to interpret their verbal and behavioral communication. Identify strategies to help you move through each stage of the disease. Learn how to use tone of voice and body language to connect with your loved one
