Library hosts local author
PRESQUE ISLE — On Thursday, Oct. 6, local author, business professor and experienced family caregiver Dr. Ethelle Lord will be on hand at the Mark and Emily Turner Memorial Library from 6-7 p.m. to discuss and sign copies of her book, “Alzheimer’s and Dementia Coaching: Taking a Systems Approach to Creating an Alzheimer/Dementia Friendly Healthcare Workforce.”
Lord is the founding president of the International Caregivers Association. She has first-hand experience in dementia care with her husband, who was officially diagnosed with vascular dementia in the fall of 1999. Lord coaches individuals, families and professionals who provide dementia care.
Through personal experience, she said, she realized the great need for the importance of adopting a universal standard in training and delivering dementia care by professionals and family caregivers.
