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.

Mail Delivery Update for South Shore Drive Residents

If you live on or near South Shore Drive, you might be aware that the road is being fixed.  The project has been delayed, for a number of reasons, including having to wait until the Town of Delavan audit was completed, which took much longer than expected. Once the audit was completed then and only then could the loan process begin. Once the project started, there were other delays including a Delmar piping issue as well as an issue with WE energies hooking up to an old gas main. All those things have affected the completion date of the South Shore Drive project which has now been moved to June 15, 2022.  While the work up to Holig Lane will be completed shortly, the second half of the project (Holig to Hwy 50) will not be started until next Spring.

That being said, if you have presently been picking up your mail at the Delavan Post Office due to the South Shore Drive Project, we have been notified that you will STILL need to retrieve your mail from the Delavan Post Office throughout the Winter.  We know this isn’t pleasant news to hear, however, we felt it was necessary to get the word out.

*Please note that if you have NOT yet had any changes to your mail delivery, as a result of this project (ie: This would apply to those of you that live on South Shore starting at Holig and going to Hwy 50) this will NOT affect you this winter.  This notice only pertains to those whose mail delivery has already been affected by the project.
