Dementia Caregiving Event Coming to SCC

Did you just find out a loved one has Alzheimer’s and you’re not sure what to do next? Are you wondering if your spouse’s forgetfulness is more than just a senior moment? Join nationally renowned speaker, Jo Huey, as she helps people navigate through this challenging period. Those who have any questions about this life-changing diagnosis are encouraged to attend a workshop at Southeast Community College’s Jack J. Huck Continuing Education Center. The workshop will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 5. The Center is located at 301 S. 68th St. Place in Lincoln. Cost is $15 per person. It’s co-sponsored by Home Instead.

Huey has helped caregivers for decades and even wrote two books about the subject, “Alzheimer’s Disease: Help and Home,” and “Don’t Leave Mama Home With the Dog.” In the latter book, she writes about her experiences caring for her mother and how she eventually made the decision to move her to a nursing home. Participants can register by calling (402) 437-2700 or online at http://bit.ly/RegisterCE using the keyword Mama.
