EPLD is proud to partner with the Alzheimer's Association Illinois Chapter on this important program. When someone shows signs of dementia, it’s time to talk.

This program offers tips on how to have honest and caring conversations to address some of the most common issues. Topics covered in the program include: » Going to the doctor » Deciding when to stop driving » Making legal and financial plans Please note: This program will take place online via the Zoom platform, NOT at the Eureka Public Library. Thursday, December 17 | 6:30 pm Free online program. Registration required before 5 pm on Wednesday, December 16.
