The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Winnebago County has two new programs in Oshkosh for people struggling with memory loss that also provide a break for their caregivers.
Mindworks Class, a facilitated program designed for people with early memory loss, will start Thursday at the Oshkosh Public Library. The curriculum promotes overall health and wellness, brain health and social connections through classroom activities, community engagement, services projects and physical activity.
Classes will be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursdays. Lunch is provided and the cost is $10 per session. Contact Courtney Tienor from the Fox Valley Memory Project at 920-225-1724 for more information and to register.
The second class is called Memory Care Respite Partners, a free community program that provides socialization, organized arts, music and activities. The program is staffed by professional caregivers and volunteers and held from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 1861 Wisconsin St. Contact Colleen Harvot at the Valley VNA at 920-727-5555 ext. 2217.
