Busy Minds Busy Hands: The Importance of Leisure and Dementia

Presented by: Patty Piechocki, CTRS, QMCP – Manager of Programming & Continuing Education – Alzheimer’s and Dementia Services of Northern Indiana

Imagine living in a world where “fun” is impossible to find. When a person living with dementia has limited access to leisure, loneliness, decreased functional skills, disease progression, and failure to thrive can easily develop. This session will identify how meaningful leisure experiences can improve the lives of individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. Refreshments and light appetizers will be served.

Space for this event is full. For questions, call 574-247-1866.
