It’s important to know signs of dementia before conditions get worse.
Liz McLeod says there will be a presentation about dementia on Tuesday from 6:30-8 at the Dauphin Hospital in room 246 on the second floor. There is no cost to attend.
McLeod says the presentation is important for anyone interested in dementia or helping someone with dementia. Or to be informed about what to do if they feel they will deal with it in the future.
Sheila McIntosh is the presenter and she’ll be talking about how to cope with the changes, how to notice the changing behaviour, and she’ll help with problem-solving.
If dementia gets caught early enough, plans can be made by the person diagnosed to make things much easier for them and their loved ones.
There are treatments that can slow the process of dementia if caught early enough.
