A new resource is available for local adults experiencing memory loss.
Here’s more…
Guåhan Memories: Images and Conversation starters for Adults with Memory Loss is a resource offered in partnership between the University of Guam Press and UOG’s School of Health. The new resource features images and conversation starter prompts that reflect the experiences of people from Guåhan and seeks to facilitate meaningful discussions about their lives.
Funded by the Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Program award from the Health and Resources Services Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the first to receive the resource included staff from the Mayors’ Council of Guam Adult Day Care Program.
Additional resource distribution was during a training session for certified caregivers to use and share on September 24th.
