Dementia In Douglas County

Diagnosis, resources, experiences, and more.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 22 FROM 12-1 PM

Virtual event: Register at www.alexandriamn.org.

Learn about Dementia in Douglas County – the diagnosis, resources, experiences, and more at a one-hour, informative, virtual Listen & Learn event on Tuesday, August 22, from 12-1 pm.

Dementia is a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a single disease, but an overall term that covers a wide range of specific medical conditions. Join in the conversation to hear from Roy and Patty Wicken of Alexandria on their experience in getting a dementia diagnosis, the lessons they’ve learned along the way, and the impact it has on the caregiver. Jenny Theis, Senior Community Engagement Manager with the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota will also share resources that are available in Douglas County for both those living with the disease and those who are caregiving.
