Dementia Education Workshop

Na Pu`uwai News Release

On Wednesday, March 11, Na Pu\`uwai Senior Enrichment Center Adult Day Care (ADC) will be sponsoring a workshop for family caregivers and paraprofessional nurse aides who provide in-home and respite care, focusing on dementia and the impact this disease has on their loved ones.
