Resource fair helps those dealing with dementia

Living Well with Dementia Sisters will host the Care and Connect Resource Fair on Thursday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Sisters Community Church, 1300 McKenzie Hwy. This free event is designed to connect all care partners with local organizations and resources to help them navigate the challenges of supporting loved ones living with dementia.

The Care and Connect Resource Fair will feature more than 20 local service providers and community organizations, each offering valuable information and tools for caregivers. The fair aims to foster a supportive environment where care partners can learn more about resources available to them, meet representatives from various support organizations, and find guidance on managing the unique needs of dementia care and other illnesses.

“We understand the challenges faced by families and friends who provide care for loved ones with dementia,” said Debbi McCune, Living Well with Dementia Sisters. “This fair is our way of empowering caregivers, regardless of the type of disease, with knowledge, support, and resources right here in our community. It’s an opportunity to connect and find the support they need.”

Living Well with Dementia Sisters encourages all local care partners, families, and community members interested in learning more about dementia care resources to attend.
