Residents of the area are invited
to a Dementia Friends training following a fellowship potluck at the Birchdale
Community Center at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 16. Koochiching Aging Options will
offer the free one-hour community training following lunch. Participants become
a Dementia Friend, learning a bit about what it is like to live with dementia
and then turning that learning into action.
Dementia Friends is an initiative
of ACT on Alzheimer’s, a statewide collaborative promoting better understanding
and action around the growing incidence of Alzheimer’s disease and other
dementias.
Those with questions may contact
Koochiching Aging Options at (218) 283-7030 or (800) 950-4630.
