SGC Admin: Alzheimer and Dementia are probably two of the most difficult situations a family has to work through and when a loved one first develops such a condition it can be almost undetectable. The Alzheimer Society of Durham Region shares the Ten early warning signs, and encourages everyone to ask questions of their health care providers should they have concerns about themselves or their loved ones.
Reading through the signs, some of them could relate to stress, everyday living, changes in environment (such as retiring). However, it is better to be safe then sorry, and the sooner diagnosis can be made the sooner treatment can begin, if caught early the chances of a better quality of life for the patient is expected.
SGC Admin: Check out what we found in our inbox…. The Whitby Library is offering a course for Seniors on Facebook…. Facebook is a media venue on the computer, many people have a Facebook account and use it mostly to keep in contact with friends and family members… It’s great for those of us who have family members who live in another country… it’s almost like they are there with you….
If you know a senior who may be interested in this Free course please get them signed up as soon as possible as there are only 10 spots available … :)
Seniors are welcome to join us at the Brooklin Branch of the Whitby Public Library to learn how to use Facebook. In this 1 1/2 hour program, seniors will learn how to set up a Facebook account to keep in touch with family, reconnect with old friends, upload photos and choose privacy settings.
Space is limited to 10 participants.
Registration is required. Register online or contact any branch.
