As a top-rated senior living
community specializing in caring for those with Alzheimer’s and
dementia-related diseases, we continue to educate our staff as well as reach
out to caregivers and families dealing with the disease. One enlightening program we are hosting is
the Unforgettable Series, a “Caring
Conversation for Family & Friends of those with Alzheimer’s and other forms
of Dementia”.
The lecture series will be held at our
community at 575 Tantra Dr., Boulder, on the second Tuesday of each month
starting in May through October at 5:30 – 7:00PM. By the time this blog is posted, our first
session, Communication Strategies Part One, will have already taken place but we welcome you to
join us for the other sessions.
The Unforgettable Series is led by Kelli
Squire of About Time Senior Solutions.
Ms. Squire began About Time Senior Solutions in 2015 to help people
navigate the various services and options available for their aging loved ones
from managing a
specific diagnosis or just providing advice on what to do next. Educated at the Boston University Center for
Aging and Disability Education and Research, she is also a Certified Trainer in
Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care, which supports and engages people
living with dementia and other brain changes.
Kelli also volunteers as a facilitator at the Alzheimer’s Association’s
Memory Café and co-facilitates Early Stage Support/Education classes.
On June 12th, the series
focuses on Communication Strategies Part Two.
Understanding Changing Behaviors (Expressions) Part One and Part
Two are on July 10th and August 14th. Next up the series
will discuss Relationship Changes on September 11th. The last topic will be Thought Leaders in
Dementia Care on October 9th.
Attendees are
sure to get practical tools along with a better understanding of the
disease. After each presentation, there
will be time to share experiences, challenges and positive moments. Please contact MorningStar of
Boulder for more information.
