Dementia Care for Family Members
Start date August 23
Caring for a family member with dementia is challenging in many ways, but the strain it can have on a relationship can be especially troubling. Even though your role in the relationship now includes that of caregiver, you still want to maintain the feelings and closeness that you have always had with your loved one. In this workshop, you will explore ways to look at how a person with dementia sees or experiences a situation, so that you can respond in a way that makes sense to him or her. It’s about adding meaning to your family member’s life and creating moments for success. Using the Alzheimer Association’s CARES Approach, you can relate to your relative in a sensitive, thoughtful manner every day. This class is part of our “Community Health and Wellness” series, and there is no charge for participants.

Tai Chi – Improve Body Awareness & Balance
Start date September 10
Always wondered about Tai Chi, but didn’t know where to start? Join us for this 10-session class! Tai chi, which originated in China as a martial art, is practiced around the world today as a way of improving health, body awareness, and balance. In this low-impact, slow-motion exercise, you move without pausing through a series of postures or forms. We will learn both the external form of tai chi movements as well as the internal principles that animate them. Movements are circular and never forced and muscles are relaxed rather than tensed. Practiced at a slow and even speed, tai chi promotes relaxation, posture, and balance. And best of all, you can learn and benefit from tai chi even if you aren’t in top shape or the best of health–start where you are and go from there!
