Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia

Your Y invites you to learn about Alzheimer's and Dementia in partnership with Alzheimer's Association Oregon Chapter.

Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. It affects people in varying ways and has a ripple effect on the lives of those who interact with them. Understanding what is happening to a person with Alzheimer’s is key to interacting effectively and providing quality care. This class includes information from expert professionals in the field and first-hand accounts from people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Handouts and brochures related to the education material are provided.

Located in the Beck Center at the Y. This class is open to Y members & community members.
