Understanding Dementia Presentations

By Christine Hall

Please Join Us!  Free of Charge.

Caring for a loved one with dementia poses many challenges for families and caregivers. People with dementia such as Alzheimer’s and related diseases have a progressive biological brain disorder that makes it more and more difficult for them to remember things, think clearly, communicate with others and take care of themselves. In addition, dementia can cause mood swings and even change a person’s personality and behavior.

Join us for one or more of these Understanding Dementia classes to further understand this disease and the challenges it may be presenting to you or a loved one.

About Our Speaker Jake Gamble

Jake is the owner and administrator of Generations Home Care, a locally owned business in Tacoma. He has been involved in caring for seniors in some capacity for the last decade, spending the first portion of that time working in memory care and doing training with the Alzheimer’s Association. Jake’s passion for training families, quality care and understanding the disease stem from his time loving and serving the families that have walked through Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Jake has presented Understanding Dementia classes at Franke Tobey Jones for several years, always to a full house.  He is so compassionate and truly understands what you are going through. Bring your concerns and questions as there will be time at the end of each class for Q & A.
