SUMMARY:Wausau: ADRC: Dementia Overview
DESCRIPTION:MCPL is partnering with the ADRC this spring to bring a series of programs designed to provide information and resources regarding dementia. Join us on April 6 as we give an overview of dementia. What is considered “normal aging” and when should you be concerned? Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging—but when memory loss and other thinking problems start to interfere with daily life\, it may be a sign of dementia. Dementia is a general term for conditions that affect memory\, language\, problem-solving\, and other cognitive abilities. \nWhether you’re adjusting to a new diagnosis\, looking to better support someone you care about\, or are interested in learning more\, this presentation—led by staff from the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Central Wisconsin—will provide a helpful introduction to understanding dementia. \nThis free event is open to adults and no registration is required. We’ll meet in the Community Room. For more information\, please contact us at 715-261-7230.
