Bridge to Opportunities for Older Adults

Gifts of Dementia with Teri Skoog.  Although individuals experiencing dementia lose some cognitive skills, changes usually occur slowly over years. We often keep our primary thinking skills and continue to live in the present—fully able to enjoy beauty, emotions, and companionship. There are strengths and gifts in dementia and both you and your loved one will benefit when you understand how to recognize skills lost and skills kept. Understanding strength-based dementia supportive care will help eliminate a sense of suffering, keep your loved one home longer, with fewer behavior problems, and your family will have less stress and expense.

Bridge to Opportunities meets at Four Oaks Bridge Campus, 2100 1^st Ave. NE, Cedar Rapid, directly across from Cottage Grove Place and Cottage Grove Ave. Parking and entrance, including handicap ramp, are at the back of the building.
