More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

Elder Services of Berkshire County is hosting an upcoming education series run by the Alzheimer’s Association. This program is designed for the family and friends of someone with any form of dementia, suspected or newly diagnosed. Over the six week series participants will learn about the disease and the resources available to them. They will gain knowledge and tools to assist them in coping with their care giving role. They will be able to give better care thus allowing the person to remain in the home longer.
Topics in this educational program include: March 3rd - What is Dementia?, March 17th – Best Ways to Interact, March 31st – How to Provide Care at Home, April 14th – Asking for Help, April 28th – Taking Care of Yourself, May 12th – How to Plan for the Future. Studies have shown that three out of ten caregivers will die before the person they are taking care of. These classes are designed to empower the caregiver and lessen the stress. Participants can register for individual sessions or the full series.
Classes will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Elder Services of Berkshire County, 66 Wendell Ave., Pittsfield, MA 01201. To register call Louisa or Faith at 499-0524. |
