Understand Dementia Presentations

Join Us!  Free of Charge.

Caring for a loved one with dementia poses many challenges for families and caregivers.  People with dementia such as Alzheimer’s and related diseases have a progressive biological brain disorder that makes it more difficult for them to remember things, think clearly, communicate and take care of themselves.  Some may have a personality change as well.

Join us for one or more of these Understanding Dementia classes to further understand this disease and the challenges it may be presenting to you or a loved one.  Our guest speaker will be the wonderful and compassionate Jake Gamble (Generations Home Care).

Also, we have availability in our beautiful Memory Care.  Learn about important information you need to know if you’re thinking about transitioning to a memory care community.  If interested, tours of our Memory Care will be offered before or after these classes.  Or, if you’d like to tour earlier, call us at 253-752-6621.

SEATS ARE LIMITED!  RSVP to one or more classes by March 22nd to Frankie at 253-756-6327or fthomas@franketobeyjones.com or fill out this form and submit it.  Last year all classes filled up quickly!

There will be time at each presentation to ask questions.

Presentations will be held in the Franke Tobey Jones Wellness-Fitness Center from 1:30-3:00.  Parking will be available.
