Dementia Friendly Sun Lakes Free Class January 21

Join us for “Dementia? Now What?” on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at 1 p.m. in Room 1 in the Education Center of Sun Lakes United Methodist Church, 9248 E. Riggs Road. RSVP to DFSunLakes@agingwithgraceaz.org or call 480-203-8548.

If you’re someone supporting a loved one who has found themself in the situation of being identified as having MCI (mild cognitive impairment) or dementia, followed by the familiar “Adios! We’ll see you in six months or next year” scenario, we can help.

Learn 20 facts about this journey that nobody sits down and tells you. Becoming aware of what to expect and understanding why certain changes are happening and how they affect everyday life will be incredibly transformative to your journey as a care partner—whether you’re a spouse, sibling, parent, or friend. This class is also appropriate if you’re the one who’s gotten this news from your doctor. Elaine Poker-Yount, co-chair of Dementia Friendly Sun Lakes, will be presenting.

Don’t miss this opportunity for this eye-opening and incredibly practical information. It will also get you prepared for our 7th Annual Dementia Conference, which will also be hosted by the church, on Thursday, March 5. Save the date!
