September 24: Learn Home Safety Tips for Dementia Care at Franklin Library Event

Franklin, Tenn. (TN Tribune)-Ashley Briggs will utilize her 17 years of experience developing programs in memory care communities to demonstrate ways to make a home safe for someone suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementias. With the right safety measures in place, an individual living with Alzheimer’s can remain in the comfort of their own home or a caregiver’s residence. As the disease progresses, the person’s abilities will change. Ashley will show how, with some creativity and flexibility, the home can be adapted to support these changes. This demonstration is part of the sixth program in the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Series, presented in-person in collaboration with the Alzheimer’s Association Tennessee Chapter. The event will take place at the Main Library in Franklin on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, from 1:30 to 3 pm. Registration is required and can be completed at the following link: Event Registration.
