Bioclinica, an international medical research firm with offices in The Villages and Orlando, is preparing to host a free ABC of Dementia workshop.
The event, which will feature Debbie Selsavage, president of Coping with Dementia LLC, will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Friday, Aug. 30. It will take place at NeuroHealth in the offices of Dr. Jay J. Rubin, at 3365 Wedgewood Lane in The Villages.
During the workshop, Selsavage will define Alzheimer’s and dementia, explain how dementia affects individuals, discuss ways to interpret dementia behaviors for better communication and results, and show how compassion and the proper use of voice, approach and appropriate touch can result in more effective and less stressful care-giving.
This workshop has drawn a standing-room-only audience during its last three presentations in The Villages. While the event is free and open to the public, registration is recommended for planning purposes, and early reservations are recommended.
To make a reservation, call (352) 422-3663 or email [email protected].
