The Remember
Project
Wrapup
On March 8th, HELPERS facilitated the last in our 3-part dementia awareness series. These three virtual plays demonstrated the impact of dementia from differing perspectives, from the perspective of a healthy person fearful of getting dementia, from the perspective of the adult children struggling to come to agreement on how to care for their parent living with dementia, and from the person living with dementia. A common “takeaway” from this series was the utmost importance of planning ahead for situations such as this and doing so when one is healthy and able to make sound decisions.
If you would like to hear more about pre-planning and get some of your questions answered, please consider attending the End-of-Life Planning event below.
“End of life decisions should not be made at end of life.”
Wednesday, May 3rd.
Hosted by the Barnesville Area Community Fund with the assistance of HELPERS.
