Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness – Creative Problem Solving for Dementia Caregiving 

Shannon Nosbisch from Effingham Area Alzheimer’s Awareness will discuss common issues that caregivers and family members may have when caring for their loved one living with dementia.  She will give tips and strategies to use for issues like bathing, eating, wandering, driving, sundowning and more.  By using these tips, caregivers and family members can have less stress and a more meaningful relationship with their loved one. 

This free presentation will be on Thursday, November 3 at 6:00 PM in the Workman Room, which is located on the Library’s lower level. 

Effingham Area Alzheimer's Awareness is a volunteer-based, not-for-profit organization founded to provide support and education to all families, caregivers, and persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia in Effingham County and the surrounding area.  They strive to provide support for rural communities affected by dementia.
