DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WITH DEMENTIA?

Do you want to learn more about how dementia affects the brain and how you can assist someone living with the disease?

Join STEPS Home Care, Westchester and Fairfield County's elder care leader, for our hour-long Dementia Friends training session in Stamford, Connecticut, at Serendipity Labs Workspace. Co-sponsored by Daniel Tully, Partner of Kilbourne & Tully, P.C. a Connecticut Elder and Disability Law Firm, and presented by Paul and Susan Doyle, owners of Oasis Senior Advisors.

Dementia is not a specific disease. It's an overall term that describes a group of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases. Vascular dementia, which occurs after a stroke, is the second most common dementia type.

 Dementia Friends USA is a global movement that is changing the way people think, act, and talk about dementia. Developed by the Alzheimer’s Society in the United Kingdom, the Dementia Friends initiative is underway by helping everyone in a community understand what dementia is and how it affects people and each of us can make a difference.
