Central Iowa Alzheimer's Education and Events

Central Iowa Alzheimer's & Dementia Workshops Diagnosis Dementia?  Now What Do We Do? Wednesday, October 4, 2017 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Gloria Dei Lutheran Church - Urbandale This workshop will offer helpful tips to assist families with difficult conversations related to dementia, including going to the doctor, deciding when to stop driving,  making legal and financial plans, and changing personalities. The fear or lack of awareness that often accompanies having these conversations and dealing with changing behaviors can result in delays that have serious consequences for the entire family. Legal & Financial Planning for the Future Wednesday, October 18, 2017 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Lakeside Hotel & Casino - Osceola The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease makes planning for the future more important than ever. Concerns about care provision and programs that can help offset costs mean that families need accurate information about legal and financial planning specific to the disease. This workshop will assist with topics related to planning for the future.
