| Event: | Assessing and Addressing Pain |
| Location: | Bellevue Family YMCA, 14230 Bel-Red Rd., Bellevue, WA 98007 |
| Time: | 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM |
People with dementia are at higher risk of experiencing unrelieved pain, which in turn can worsen cognitive impairment. How can we identify, assess and respond to pain in people with dementia, particularly if they are unable to accurately self-report their pain? This class will address these issues and provide tools for improving client/resident comfort. Please note: this presentation is not appropriate for the person with memory loss.

| Location: | Kent Library, 212 2nd Ave. N., Kent, WA 98032 |
| Time: | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM |
The body is a complex machine; what affects one system eventually affects others. There is some evidence to indicate that poor dietary habits, a lack of exercise and a lack of mental and emotional stimulation can all contribute to Alzheimer's disease. This session discusses these issues and offers simple lifestyle changes that can help in the fight against Alzheimer's. Please note: this presentation is appropriate for the person with mild memory loss but not for the person with moderate or advanced memory loss.
