Abernethy Laurels hosts Lunch & Learn: Effective Communication Strategies for Caregivers 5-15-2017

Communication is more than just talking and listening—it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families/caregivers need new ways to connect. Join us to explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and nonverbal messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
