Community In Color: Art Show & Open House

Saturday May 3rd | 2pm-5pm

Art has a unique power to connect, especially for those with dementia. It provides a way to express emotions and memories when words are difficult, using color to communicate in a universal language. Even as dementia affects cognition, art offers creativity and emotional expression, helping individuals connect with themselves and others.

Bath-Brunswick Respite-Care is excited to invite the community to our Community In Color: Art Show & Open House. This event will highlight the creative talents of our day program participants and celebrate the power of art for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

There will be live music, an online auction, nibbles, and much more. Please join us!

Caregiver Connect: Contingency Planning

Amy Berube from The Highlands will lead a discussion on contingency planning, focusing on the critical steps to take when a caregiver becomes unavailable due to health issues, death, or other unforeseen circumstances. She will explore strategies for ensuring continuity of care, addressing legal and financial considerations, and providing peace of mind for families in times of uncertainty. This session aims to equip participants with practical tools and knowledge to plan for the unexpected and safeguard the well-being of their loved ones.
