ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. /ScoopCloud/ -- Lutheran Home is hosting a complimentary "Best Friends Guide to Dementia" educational series starting this month. The healthcare campus is part of non-profit Lutheran Life Communities and provides the most comprehensive constellation of memory support services, options and resources in Arlington Heights. The "Best Friend's Guide to Dementia" seminar will be held as both an in-person session and a webinar and is designed to help anyone live as successfully as possible (or support a loved one) on their journey.
A complimentary eBook with the same title is available for download.
"The series is designed to feel approachable and honest while delivering helpful information about memory loss," said Joelle Patterson, Lutheran Home Senior Resident Life Director and Certified Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Care Trainer. "We are also excited to share information about the new MyTapestry Garden neighborhood, which was recently added as an extension of our current memory support services providing light support for people with cognitive changes."
As part of being a non-profit organization, Lutheran Home is able to invest profits back into our program, which is why it can offer the most comprehensive memory care support system in Arlington Heights, with solutions for everyone starting with Cherished Place Adult Day Club to support caregivers with drop off (or pick up) day services; assisted living that's appropriate for mild cognitive conditions and all the way through skilled nursing that specializes in dementia. Our peer-based approach to memory care residential services honors the dignity and individuality of each person who is on this journey.
