Description

Are you a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia? Do you have a loved one who is experiencing a decline in their cognitive or physical abilities?

To better relate to how they might be feeling, Ashley Gardens is hosting "Walk a Mile in Their Shoes", A Taste of Aging and Dementia

Come experience the impact of mental and physical changes frequently associated with aging.
• Become more sensitive to how people feel when functional skills decline and independence is limited.
• Gain an unforgettable, gut-level understanding of the “why’s” behind some of the “what’s” that you may already know (for example, “give only one task at a time”).
• Boost empathy and patience for clients, loved ones, and acquaintances, by experiencing first-hand some of the aches and pains as well as sensory and functional losses.
