EPOCH Assisted Living hosts Alzheimer's presentation10:35AM / Friday, November 07, 2008
PITTSFIELD, Mass — In recognition of Alzheimer’s Awareness month, EPOCH Assisted Living at Melbourne will host a “Life Enrichment Activities for Family Caregivers” presentation on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 7 p.m. A support group for caregivers of Alzheimer’s patients will follow the presentation. EPOCH Assisted Living is located at 140 Melbourne Road.
Heather Lemoine, RN; Beth Hinkley-Mougin, LSW; and Debra Dadak, EPOCH activities coordinator, will discuss ways family caregivers can engage individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease through meaningful activities. The presenters will discuss ways to provide entertainment and enjoyment in the moment for the Alzheimer’s patient and encourage positive caregiver-patient interactions.
President Ronald Reagan designated November as National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month in 1983. At the time, fewer than 2 million Americans had Alzheimer’s. Today, the number of people with the disease has soared to more than 5 million.
The presentation and short support group meeting will take the place of the Alzheimer’s support group that meets every third Wednesday of the month from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The group will resume its regularly scheduled meetings in December. For more information, please call Amy McNally at 499-1992.
