Walworth County Dementia Awareness Spotlight: Frontotemporal Dementia and Family Support: Contact:  Jake SawyersDementia Care [email protected] August 20, 2024 ADRC of Walworth County Dementia Awareness Spotlight: Frontotemporal Dementia and Family Support (ELKHORN, WI): On Friday, September 13, 2024, the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Walworth County will host a free educational presentation on frontotemporal dementia, also called FTD, and family support. Speakers from the Association of FTD and Lorenzo’s House, a non-profit organization focused on supporting families with younger-onset dementia, will provide the presentation. “FTD is the most common form of dementia for individuals under the age of 60,” says Jake Sawyers, dementia care specialist. “FTD symptoms are different from Alzheimer’s. The age of onset is typically younger. And it is often misdiagnosed. This presentation will educate attendees about FTD and introduce families to the amazing work of Lorenzo’s House.” The Dementia Awareness Spotlight will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the Walworth County Health and Human Services building, 1910 County Road NN, Elkhorn. Registration is preferred. Virtual attendance options will also be available. Contact Dementia Care Specialist Jake Sawyers at (262) 741-3273 to register for the event. About the ADRC of Walworth County: The ADRC provides information and assistance to older and disabled adults, their friends, family, caregivers, and the public. We can assist by evaluating your current needs and providing options available to meet the needs of your situation.

What’s Going on at Delavan Community Park?

Have you noticed the upgrades being done to the Community Park Building?  The newly constructed Waters Edge Venue will be revealed at our Grand Opening during our Oktoberfest at Delavan Lake Community Park on Saturday, October 23 @12pm-6pm.

Inside of the beautifully remodeled Wedding and Event Venue is a Water’s Edge Community Mural. The mural, designed by local, up and coming artist, Rachel DeBow, is meant to be a celebration of the Town of Delavan and Delavan Lake Community. The mural is a map depiction of Delavan Lake and the surrounding area with markers to highlight your businesses, homes, boats, and farms.

Funds raised from the Mural Markers will be used to support projects for Waters Edge on Delavan Lake, our town parks, and the addition of an elevator inside Waters Edge which will allow guests to enjoy the fabulous Lakeside View from the upper patio.

Your support means the world to us, so order your marker today.
