Help for people living with dementia

Seniors group hosting an education event for the community
Dementia Friends

A group representing local seniors is joining forces with the Alzheimer Society of BC to offer a workshop on dementia next Thursday.

The Jan. 21 event, sponsored by CARP, a national, not-for-profit association committed to advancing the quality of life for Canadians as they age, will be held in the MacDonald-Cartier room at Poirier community centre, 630 Poirier St., Coquitlam.

Participants can learn about dementia and how best to support people living with dementia in the community. There will also be free blood pressure checks, eyeglass cleaning and adjustments and a chance to win a year's free CARP membership.

To register, call Tim at 604-522-9020 or email [email protected].
