Nationally Renowned Speaker/Educator on Dementia Presents at Christian Health Care Center

Christian Health Care Center (CHCC) in Wyckoff will hold an important educational program entitled “Communicating with Someone Living with Dementia” from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, December 13, in the CHCC Auditorium, 700 Mountain Ave., Wyckoff. The presenter is Teepa Snow, OT/L, a nationally recognized educator on dementia. Seating is limited and attendees must register. To register, call (201) 897-5039 or email mbraen@chccnj.org.

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 dementia progress in their journey and the ability to use words is lost, families need new ways to connect.

Ms. Snow will teach you how to effectively connect and communicate with someone who has dementia at every stage of the disease. Her enlightening, witty, entertaining, and energetic style will educate, inspire, and motivate.

CHCC provides a broad continuum of high-quality, compassionate care, offering superior senior-life, short-term rehab, and mental-health services. As a non-profit organization, we deliver Person- and Family-centered Care to our community based upon the Christian principles on which we were founded more than a century ago.
