Presented by: Jen Bruning – Nutritionist

As dementia progresses, eating can become increasingly challenging—impacting nutrition, independence, and overall health. Join us for an informative event exploring how a structured, sensory-based memory care dining approach can make a meaningful difference. We’ll share how reinforcing the skill of eating through intentional, wellness-focused dining helps individuals maintain independence longer—and in some cases, regain skills once thought lost.

Space is limited for this complimentary event. Please RSVP by February 16 by calling 269-397-2200 or online.
