What is dementia?
Dementia (degenerative brain disease) causes the loss of cognitive functioning — thinking, remembering, and reasoning — and behavioral abilities to such an extent that it interferes with a person's daily life and activities. These functions include memory, language skills, visual perception, problem solving, self-management, and the ability to focus and pay attention. Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person's functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of living. (National Institute on Aging, 2019)
Types of dementia
-Alzheimer's disease
-Lewy body dementia
-Frontotemporal dementia
-Parkinson's disease
Volunteer opportunities
“Help thy Neighbor”
The Fleming Friends Program at LVHN is recruiting volunteers to provide one-on-one visitation to seniors living in the community. Give back to the community by building relationships with older adults residing alone who may need some friendship and fellowship in their later years.
