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 Wednesday, April 22, 2015, from
noon to 1:00 p.m.

Sara McGady, Manager Education and Outreach, Alzheimer Association,
Greater Illinois Chapter, will present “Know the 10 Signs: Early
Detection Matters”.
Lunch will be provided, and pre-registration is required. While
there is no charge to attend, voluntary contributions are accepted.
All donations received are used to provide additional services for
caregivers.
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.
