UnityPoint offers dementia caregiver education

UnityPoint Health is hosting a free, in-person community education event for loved ones and caregivers of dementia patients. 

“How to Prevent Dementia and Stay Safely Home” will be presented by Dr. Hamid Sagha, UnityPoint Clinic Mulberry – Internal Medicine. The event will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 18, at Musser Public Library in Muscatine, Iowa.

Attendees will learn how to have an action plan to optimize the patient’s memory and learn how healthy lifestyle choices can help prevent, delay or even reverse memory loss at any age and improve the ability to complete everyday tasks.

“While there is no single cure for dementia, there are things that can be done to make life better
