Senior Home Care & Alzheimer's Solutions and Dementia Training Solutions are hosting the Living with Dementia 2023 Conference ​at Embassy Suites across from Destiny USA on Tuesday, October 24.

Their goal is to provide everyone in Central New York with local resources that they can use to help them and their families who are living with and affected by Dementia. There are so many free or low-cost resources, but they are not easy to find because they are not advertised.

This conference is for professional and family caregivers, or anyone interested in learning more about dementia care.

​Cost is $35 per person, which includes admission to the conference, lunch and a resource book.

ATLANTA — Wind-driven wildfires on Maui prompted evacuations and caused significant loss of life and widespread damage.

UMCOR awarded an emergency grant to the California-Pacific Annual Conference, which includes the Hawaiian UMC, to provide shelf-stable food, water, hygiene items and tools to help survivors recover belongings.

As first responders continue to provide initial aid, please join UMCOR in prayer and by making a gift to this and other disasters in the U.S.
