Dementia Sensitivity Experience (DSE), November 20, 2019, at Dorothy’s Place, 3185 Hickory Hill Road. Mark your calendar to know first hand the struggles one with Dementia has day-to-day. Judy Davis is the contact at (901) 372-4585 or jedavis@adsmemphis.org.
Support groups are held at each center several times a month to meet the caregiver’s needs. Facilitated by the ADS social worker these groups are open to the public and care for the person with dementia is provided for free during the support groups.
ADS can always use volunteers, whether you are a handy man or just a loving person who wants to share your time. Volunteers augment staffing, which has a ratio of 1:4. Volunteers most often assist with activities and provide companionship to our “Friends”.
