Aging can bring new challenges that need special resources and information and Elena Mendez at Senior Advocacy Services has new programs available that spotlight dementia, healthy living, Medicare choices and dealing with clutter. All programs are free to the public with an emphasis on se-nior citizens.
Knowing the difference between normal aging and dementia can relieve unnecessary anxiety and worry for seniors, and the Up-
valley Family Center’s senior services co-ordinator Elena Mendez encourages Calis-toga seniors to attend a free workshop and discover the difference.
Mendez said while many people expe-rience mild and gradual memory loss after age 40, “memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging.”
On Friday, Sept. 26, a consortium of agencies is sponsoring a free program on “Normal Aging versus Dementia” in the Calistoga Community Center on Washing-ton Street from 5-7 p.m.
The presentation will include a discus-
sion on the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease and the importance of early detec-tion.
“If you are concerned about you or your loved one’s ability to think, to remember or to concentrate, please attend,” Mendez said.
