The following are events throughout the community that may be helpful to caregivers, those with dementia, and those interested in making their communities more dementia-friendly. There are both virtual and live events, some hosted by The Ohio Council for Cognitive Health, and many hosted by our friends and partners in the community. We hope you find them helpful!
Some organizations that offer many additional dementia care programs (many offered virtually):
• Giving Voice Foundation (Cincinnati area)
• Hilarity for Charity
Hilarity for Charity (HFC) presents this FREE training to identify how music engages multiple areas of the brain related to memory, emotion, movement, and connection. Attendees will learn why music often remains accessible for people living with dementia, even as other abilities change. (1 hour credit for CE).

Dementia rarely travels alone, meaning approximately 70% of individuals living with dementia experience one or more comorbid/coexisting conditions. In this presentation, we’ll explore the four most common comorbidities seen in individuals living with dementia and the potential impact on quality of life, health outcomes, and caregiver burden. Strategies and resources to improve management of comorbidities in dementia care, while decreasing caregiver burden will be discussed.
