Event Details

RSVP BELOW

Join us for an insightful and empowering presentation with gerontologist educator Donna Fedus, gerontologist educator and founder of Borrow My Glasses, as she introduces Habilitation—a compassionate, person-centered model of dementia care that focuses on enhancing the abilities and emotional well-being of individuals living with dementia. Habilitation helps create an environment where those with dementia can thrive by promoting positive experiences and moments of connection, rather than focusing on limitations. It empowers caregivers to provide more effective support and foster meaningful interactions.

The evening will begin with registration and a complimentary dinner at 5:30pm, followed by the presentation at 6pm, where Donna Fedus will cover:

  1. Introduce the 5 tenets of Habilitation
  2. Share strategies to promote positivity, peace, and connection at every stage of dementia
  3. Apply these strategies to real-life case scenarios and interactions

Whether you’re a family member or a professional caregiver, this presentation will equip you with valuable tools to enhance your caregiving journey. We look forward to having you join us for an informative evening designed to bring more confidence and connection to your caregiving experience!
