As dementia progresses, a person's ability to engage with others changes. Though memory and communication abilities are impaired, the ability to connect through the senses remains strong. Join us for an interactive workshop for caregivers to better learn how to engage our loved ones by tapping into the five senses.

To RSVP, please contact the Shepherd Center of Oakton-Vienna at 703-281-0538.
