Thanks to Breezyhill Media Consultants there is a free lunch at the upcoming Alzheimer's Caregiver Class in Denison on Saturday, February 16, 2008. Tim Riek of Breezyhill(9903-814-3584) is a regular supporter of the Alzheimer's Association programs. He describes his connection as, "Many of the video to DVD and album or audio tape to CD conversions I do are requested as gifts to a loved one with memory loss." Riek goes on to say, "I support the Alzheimer's Association because they do so much to help care givers."
The February class will cover physical care, dealing with problem behaviors, ways to communicate effectively, and how to help insure the safety of a person with Alzheimer's. This Caregiver Class is from 9am to 3pm at the Reba McEntire Rehabilitation Center at 1200 Reba McEntire Drive in Denison, TX. The class includes lunch courtesy of Breezyhill Media Consultants, and is free for relatives of persons with Alzheimer's or related dementias. Paid professional caregivers are welcome, space permitting, for a $25 fee. To register, please call 1-800-272-3900.
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. The mission of the organization is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.
You are invited to join the Association in the vision of a world without Alzheimer's disease. Until that day, participation in an Alzheimer's Association Caregiver Class is an important way to learn more about the disease and how to care for a person with dementia.
