Seminar offers holiday tips for Alzheimer's, dementia caregivers

FORT WALTON BEACH — "Home for the Holidays: Guidance for Dementia Caregivers," a Covenant Hospice lecture, will provide tips on creating the best possible holiday experience for caregivers and their loved ones.

The seminar is set for 6-7 p.m. Dec. 3 at Brookdale Fort Walton Beach, 233 Carmel Drive. There is no charge to attend.

Holidays can be a stressful time of year for patients with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease; as scenery changes, out-of-town guests arrive and routines change. The seminar will touch on these challenges.

Afterward, attendees will take a simulated dementia tour.

Registration is required due to limited space. Call 864-4600 to make a reservation.

Covenant Hospice is a nonprofit organization that provides care for people with life-limiting illnesses in Crestview and other Northwest Florida communities.
