Workshop on "Understanding the person with Alzheimer's disease" - There is a need in the congregation to provide visits to members who have dementia. Visits will be provided by a team of "special visitors" who are trained and supported by the Parish Nurse. The role is that of a pair of friends visiting a friend in the home. The purpose is to provide companionship for the person for one to two hours, while the caregiver is out of the home.
Understanding the Person with Alzheimer's Disease" will consist of two sessions on Thursday, February 16 and Thursday February 23 from 9:30-11:30am in the Woodside Imperoyal Chapel. It will be facilitated by Kara Gouthro-Murgatroyd from the NS Alzheimer's Society and Heather Johnston. This workshop will provide the participant with:
An increased knowledge and understanding of Alzheimer's disease and its impact on the individual and family.
The skill to communicate effectively with the individual
The opportunity to share concerns and potential issues around visiting.
If this is a way you can serve, please sign the sheet in the Narthex. For more information, please call Heather at 434-7714.
The United Church may be unusual because we don't tell people what to believe. This may lead to us having to rethink our beliefs every so often. On Monday afternoons beginning at 2pm, we will be offering anyone who is interested an opportunity to rediscover and define what we now believe. "This I Believe" will be meeting in the Meeting Room. Contact person: Stew Clarke, stewclarke@eastlink.ca
