Dementia-related illnesses can impair a person’s senses and abilities to perform complex tasks—such as operating a firearm—safely, putting both their own safety and the safety of others at risk. However, the loss of independence in activities they've done for many years can be a challenging and emotional experience. This presentation will guide caregivers on how to handle these sensitive situations with respect, ensuring the safety of both themselves and their loved ones.
This class will be held both virtually and in-person in Fairfax. Please select your attendance type when you register.
The in-person session will be held in the Mazawey Education and Support Center, 3955 Pender Drive, Suite 100, Fairfax, VA 22030.
Virtual attendees will receive Zoom information prior to the class.
This program is a part of our monthly Care Partner Training series. All sessions are FREE, and held the second Wednesday of each month from 1:00 to 2:30 pm.
