The Alzheimer's Association's three-part special educational series, "Living with Middle Stage Dementia," begins Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at Willow Pond Senior Care, with parts 2 and 3 on April 27 and May 4, also at 10:30 a.m. at Willow Pond. The series provides caregivers with information about Alzheimer's and dementia as well as an understanding of the disease, including managing the behaviors of those affected by it, understanding the medication prescribed for treatment and tapping into community resources available to caregivers. Georgia Coastal Region Alzheimer's Association program director Theresa Bayman, instructor for the series, said that middle stage dementia can be a difficult transition for both caregivers and those affected by it.
