Dementia Conversations
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.
Please join us on November 20th, 2024 from 10:00am – 11:00am at the Sobrato Center in Redwood Shores (330 Twin Dolphin Dr, Redwood City, CA, 94061) in the Bay Room for this discussion! It will be hosted by Geriatric Social Worker, Ann Blick Hamer, LCSW. For more information, please contact jannahperry@ossmc.org. We look forward to seeing you there!
