Mobile Memory Cafe Planned In Scobey
A mobile memory cafe, sponsored by AARP, will be presented by Montana State University Extension at the Daniels County Library on Wednesday, Aug. 26. The program will run from 1-3 p.m.
Goal of the program is to raise awareness and provide essential resources for families, caregivers and adults who are experiencing memory loss and dementia.
“It’s an important service to provide in our community,” Daniels County Extension Agent Inga Hawbaker said. “A lot of families are dealing with it.”
Topics to be covered during the program include: • What dementia is and how it affects individuals
• Early warning signs of memory loss
• How dementia is detected and diagnosed
• What to expect after a diagnosis
• Brain health and strategies for living well with dementia
• Effective communication with people experiencing memory loss.
In a press release, Dr. Daniel Koltz, founder/director of the MSU Extension Mobile Memory Cafe, said, “This event provides supportive, easy to understand information to help families navigate memory loss.”
All community members, caregivers and professionals are encouraged to attend the drop-in event.
