Upcoming Events & Classes

Join Missoula Aging Services (MAS) and the Center for Dementia Respite Innovation (CDRI) at Missoula Public Library for a dementia-specific respite care community listening session. Respite care provides caregivers a temporary rest from caregiving, while the person living with Alzheimer's or other dementia continues to receive care in a supportive environment. We invite you to share your respite needs, learn about MAS's new respite service offerings, and provide feedback. Please register below.

Hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association® CDRI. For more information about CDRI, visit alz.org/CDRI; for questions about this session, reach out to CDRI@alz.org.
