Where are my keys? Where did I put my glasses? Am I getting forgetful? What’s wrong? Do I have a physical deficiency?
Are these some questions that you ask yourself? Or, are you caring for someone who has been diagnosed with dementia or who may be exhibiting what you consider signs?
Ocean City AARP Chapter 1062 has answers. On Friday, Feb. 21, Chapter 1062 will host Mary Beth Lewis, of the N.J. Delaware Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, and Sangeeta Appel, owner/president of Home Instead.
The meeting will be held at 1 p.m. at the Ocean City Free Public Library, 1735 Simpson Avenue.
Lewis will address stages, risk factors, research, FDA-approved treatments and be available to answer any questions.
Appel will address available home services, testing, communication about symptoms, available preventative steps and the future need for care services.
