Maintaining Friendships and Intimacy while Caregiving
We all know someone with a dementia diagnosis. But how do you maintain connection when a friend or loved one has dementia? Guest speaker Jennifer FitzPatrick will discuss ideas for maintaining friendships after a lifelong friend has been diagnosed.
This program is a part of our ongoing Classes for Caregivers series. All sessions are FREE, and held the third Wednesday of each month from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. Respite care may be available by request; please notify us when registering.
Speaker:
Gerontologist Jennifer FitzPatrick, MSW, LCSW-C, CSP, is an expert on age diversity, mature markets, older adult customers, caregiving and the aging process. A few copies of Jennifer’s new book, Cruising Through Caregiving: Reducing the Stress of Caring for Your Loved One, will be available!

"I like the people, the programs, the support, the knowledge I gained as caregiver. That my wife flourished (and was improving, I thought) while she participated."
