[December 13, 2014]
Springfield - The Area Agency on
Aging for Lincolnland, in cooperation with Senior Citizens of Logan
County, has scheduled a Lunch and Learn program for informal
caregivers of older adults and grandparents and other relatives
raising children. It will be held at the Oasis Senior Center, 2810
Woodlawn Road, Lincoln, Illinois, on Tuesday, November 18, 2014,
from noon to 1:00 p.m. Dr. Paul Boatman, Chaplain, Safe Haven
Hospice, will present “Challenges of Caring for a Person with
Dementia”.

Lunch will be provided, and pre-registration is required. There is
no charge to attend.
This presentation is part of a series of Lunch and Learn programs.
The goal of the series is to provide practical information that will
help caregivers continue to provide quality care to others while
maintaining balance in their own lives. Informal caregivers are
those unpaid persons such as family members, friends, and neighbors
who provide assistance to someone who is to some degree
incapacitated and in need of help with tasks such as grocery
shopping, bill paying, cooking, or personal care. Grandparents or
other relatives raising grandchildren are those who have accepted
primary responsibility for raising one or more children through age
18.
To register or to learn about this program, contact the Area Agency
on Aging for Lincolnland at 217/787-9234 or 800-252-2918.
