Felician Village will host a free community workshop focused on dementia communication strategies on September 23 at its Manitowoc campus. The event, titled "Challenging Conversations," is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at 1635 S. 21st Street.
The session will be led by Sheri Fairman, MSW, CMD CP, of Dementia Care Solutions, LLC. The workshop aims to provide practical techniques for communicating with loved ones experiencing brain changes.
“It’s hard to see someone you care about making decisions that worry you — and even harder when every conversation feels like it goes all wrong. When a loved one is experiencing brain changes, communication can become confusing and emotional for both of you. Join Sheri Fairman, MSW, CMD CP, Dementia Care Solutions, LLC, to learn practical communication techniques that can help you connect more effectively and navigate these challenging moments with greater ease,” the organization stated.
Registration is appreciated but not required; those interested may call 920-684-7171 ext. 329 or email fvmarketing@felicianvillage.org.
During the event hours from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the Village Café at Felician Village will offer a special lunch menu for dine-in or take-out. Meals include a burger or bratwurst with baked beans, chips, and a cookie for $8. Proceeds from sales will support the Felician Village Walk to End Alzheimer’s Team.
Felician Village has served seniors in Manitowoc for over 135 years as a non-profit continuing care campus offering independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation services and long-term care.
