Event Description:
Arden Courts ProMedica Memory Care - Glen Ellyn will be sponsoring a presentation on "What if it is dementia? Let's start at square one!" This will be presented by LaVon K. Lenaway, MA, Owner of Dragonfly Senior Navigation Services, educator, consultant, and gerontologist.
It all starts with a sneaking suspicion of something different or something changed in a loved one. From there, the questions and curiosity don't stop. This presentation will discuss where to start if you suspect memory impairment in a loved one and continue through the three stages of dementia. This helps to understand where we are at and where we might be going. Clarity is kindness, and honesty about dementia realities, while difficult, are important for our advocacy, coping, grief, and planning.
