We’re ALZ in this Together: Destigmatizing Dementia in Addison County

Hosted by Age Well, Vergennes Area Seniors, and the Alzheimer’s Association-Vermont Chapter.

Join Vermonters with Alzheimer’s and other dementias, family caregivers, service providers, Alzheimer’s Association staff, and community members to destigmatize dementia in Addison county. We will start with a short program on the 10 warning signs of dementia. Following that we will have a group conversation about:

· What is it like to be diagnosed, live, and care for someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia

· What services are available in Vermont and in your community

· Your ideas to make Addison County more dementia friendly

· How you can get involved with the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementias

This event is free and open to the public, including those with dementia.

Stay for a noon Age Well lunch of cheese tortellini, a blend of green and black beans, wheat bread, an orange, and milk. $5 suggested donation. Anyone having lunch must fill out an Age Well registration form.

Free bus transportation may be available through Tri-Valley Transit.
