Special talk for family & caretakers of people with dementia

By admin|2020-11-18T16:00:32-05:00November 18, 2020|

Dementia affects more than the person with the condition. It affects family and caregivers, as well

Chera and Linda from the Kemper House – a care facility that specializes in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia – share tactics for helping someone with dementia and explain how caregivers can better deal with difficult behaviors.

By the way, we’ve hosted other programs that can help families dealing with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. They are still available to watch on our YouTube channel.

Chera and Linda will return for an online program about hoarding behavior and dementia at 2 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 14. The program is free to watch and will be broadcast via Zoom. You can register to attend online or call us at (440) 255-8811 ext. 247.

Benjamin Todd Arrington discusess his new book, The Last Lincoln Republican: The Presidential Election of 1880, which dives into the competitive and contentious election between Republican James A.

You may recognize Arrington from his work at the James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor where he presently serves as site supervisor. He’s often spoken at the library as part of our Civil War series with Garfield National Historic Site.

In fact, you can watch some of his best talk on our YouTube channel right now, including:
