COA to host dementia caregivers event <\/p>\n
SAGINAW Living with a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimers Disease can be a defining moment in anyones life. On Thursday, Sept. 27, the Dementia Advisory Board, a program of the Saginaw County Commission on Aging, will host a conference for caregivers working with persons with dementia. <\/p>\n
The program will take place at the Riverfront Grille, 128 N Front St. in Chesaning from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes lunch (with a $5 donation). <\/p>\n
We have seen such an increase in cases with people caring for loved ones with Alzheimers Disease or some other form of dementia, said Nicole Wiesenauer, care manager at the Saginaw Commission on Aging. Caregiver stress is at an all-time high. We are hoping to educate the residents of Saginaw County about this disease and to invite them to take advantage of the resources and support that are available throughout our area. <\/p>\n
Carol Waarala, LMSW from Avalon Hospice, will be the keynote speaker for the event, and several local agencies and memory care experts will be on hand to provide information and answer questions. Seating is limited and reservations can be made by calling Wiesenauer at 1-866-763-6336. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
