July Overview

July Workshop Wednesday

Watch below the presentation from Jennifer Smith, COTA, "Reducing Risks In Your Home."

Adult Day Center Grand Opening

We had an incredible time celebrating the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Adult Day Center on July 15 at the Highland Center! A big thank you to the Shreveport and Bossier City Chambers for leading the official ribbon cutting, and to Mayor Tom Arceneaux, elected officials, board members, friends, family, and community members who joined us. Your support means so much for this vital program serving our community.

*Please call to confirm the date and time of group meetings before attending for the first time. Facilitators vary.

To be able to say how you feel and have others understand.

To be angry and others will not say you should not feel like that.

To find help on how to handle difficult behavior problems.

To learn that you cannot and should not be the only one responsible for caring for a loved one who has the disease.

To learn where to go for help in caring for a loved one.

To realize it is possible to laugh at some of the impossible, crazy things that happen during a day with a person living with dementia.

To learn to stop trying to teach, or reason, with your loved one and instead accept that the way she/he sees things is very real for her/him.

To discover that it is important to have some time for yourself and not feel guilty about it.

To become aware of how much it helps to know you are not making this dementia journey alone.

To discover that coping is easier with the support and caring understanding of the others present.
