Caregivers' Guide for Dementia-Related Illness W24

Free

with Heather Preston-Weeks, Augusta Adult and Community Education

Calendar May 9, 2024 at 4 pm

Are you caring for someone with a dementia-related illness? Do you have questions about behaviors, the progression of the disease, or how to deal with difficult situations that arise? Would you like to have a place to talk about your frustrations with others in the same situation?

In this workshop, learn about the effects of dementia-related diseases, coping strategies, best practices, and ways to keep your loved one engaged at every step of the journey. Home safety and best practices will be addressed.

This course also provides group support for caregivers who may be feeling alone, stressed, and have no place to vent their feelings. Helpful community resources and respite will also be explored. (Classes are for caregivers, not the recipient of care.

Many sensitive topics will be discussed relating directly to those you care for, or those recently diagnosed. It would not be appropriate for these individuals to be present for such discussions.

Sessions are held on-site at Granite Hill Estates, 60 Balsam Dr, Hallowell, ME 04347

This three-week course is held on Thursdays 4:00-5:00 pm, Beginning May 9, 2024.

with Bill Babb, Five Town CSD Adult & Community Education

There is nothing like the aroma of freshly baked sourdough bread unless it is enjoying a slice of freshly baked bread with butter shortly after coming out of the oven! Students will learn how to care for a sourdough starter, how to knead using two different techniques, and how to mix, shape and score the bread for baking. The instructor will demonstrate two ways to bake a loaf, using a cloche or a stone with steam in the oven, followed by a taste testing. Students will then shape, score and bake a loaf of their own in class. They will take home some sourdough culture (bring a 32 ounce container) for bread baking at home. A $5 ingredients fee is payable to the instructor at class.
