Alzheimer's Association Holding 'Effective Communications Strategies' at Elk Grove Senior Center

January 21, 2018 |  

From Alzheimer's Association of Northern California |

Communication is more than just talking and listening - it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. 

As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.

A seminar will be held at the Elk Grove Senior Center on Tuesday, January 23. 

Time: 10–11:30 a.m. 

Location: Senior Center of Elk Grove 8830 Sharkey Avenue, Elk Grove

Registration is requested. Please call the Alzheimer’s Association at 800.272.3900 or email ivilleda@alz.org.
