Join us at Institute on Aging’s Enrichment Center in the Presidio for an informative presentation on some approaches to discussing lifestyle changes related to cognitive impairment with your loved one presented by the Alzheimer’s Association of Northern California and Northern Nevada. When someone is showing signs of dementia, it’s time to talk. Often, conversations with family about changing behaviors can be challenging and uncomfortable. This program provides tips for breaking the ice with your family so you can address some of the most common issues that are difficult to discuss: going to the doctor for a diagnosis or medical treatment, deciding when to stop driving, and making legal and financial plans for future care.
This event is FREE to attend. Registration is required. Coffee and breakfast snacks will be served. Doors will open at 9:50am.
