Dementia Friends Training

Marketing May 3, 2016

Belle Plaine ChampionsDuring the month of April, a Dementia Friends Champions Training was held at Kingsway Retirement Living. Training attendees were provided the knowledge needed to facilitate a Dementia Friends Information Session with community members. An Information Session is a face-to-face session that lasts approximately one hour and is run by a Dementia Friends Champion.

It covers the five key messages everyone should know about dementia through activities and discussion. The goal of the Dementia Friends Information Session is to help community members understand dementia and the small things they can do to make a difference for people living with dementia.

The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine campus is committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment designed to meet the needs of those with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Find out more about memory care options.
