Description:

With one in three seniors dying with Alzheimer’s or other dementia related illness, providing resources for them and their caregivers is crucial, especially for rural areas that might lack other support systems. Learn about how the Effingham Public Library developed partnerships and low-cost resources to support this critical need.  You can learn more about the Effingham “Forget Me Note Resource Center” by watching the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DsUjvUe_4Y&feature=youtu.be
