How to Have a Meaningful Visit with a Loved One or Friend Affected by Alzheimer's Disease

As Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia disorder progresses, visits may become increasingly difficult. Many times we struggle with what to say or do on a visit, because the person may have difficulty participating in a conversation or doing the things that he or she used to enjoy. This program will help participants find new ways of communicating and interacting, as well as provide practical techniques to enhance the visit. (For information regarding program delay or cancellation due to inclement weather, call 973.586.4300 and dial extension 102.)
