Mayo Healthcare hosts a talk on Effective Communication Strategies on Thursday, October 19 from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm at Mayo Residential Care, 610 Water Street, Northfield. Jessie Cornell, Volunteer Community Educator with the Alzheimer’s Association, will lead this presentation.

Communication is more than just talking and listening – it’s also about sending and receiving messages through attitude, tone of voice, facial expressions and body language. As people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect. Join us for this FREE program as we explore how communication takes place when someone has Alzheimer’s, learn to decode the verbal and behavioral messages delivered by someone with dementia, and identify strategies to help you connect and communicate at each stage of the disease.
