Guest: Carl Smith - Dementia Waikato
Becoming concerned for a loved one’s behaviour is troubling – confused - impaired – could it be dementia? If you are concerned about yourself, or concerned about someone close to you – thankfully you don’t have to make the journey alone. Dementia Waikato is a Charitable Trust providing support for people affected by dementia throughout the Greater Waikato region.
Carl Smith, (one of our own MF members) has been a follower of Jesus since 18, and currently fellowships with his wife and son at a local Anglican fellowship. After a career in the Automotive industry Carl went back to study in his 40s, retraining as a Social Worker. Carl works for Dementia Waikato providing caring support, information and personal advocacy for people with dementia, their families and whānau, and those who are close to them.
A diagnosis of dementia brings up many issues and to have support to negotiate a way forward appropriate for your needs is vital.
As our community ages some have described cognitive impairment as “a rising tide” – learn about the issues so we can better respond.
Join us for an evening of information, sharing – and Christian fellowship…..
