Local nonprofit Partners In Care invites community members in Central Oregon to its engaging, in-person education series. For the past 18 years, Partners In Care has been providing no-cost community education on a myriad of topics such as preparing for end of life, facing a serious illness, and caregiver tips and resources.

The next community education class of 2026 at Partners In Care is on the topic of “Understanding Dementia-Related Behaviors: A Caregiver’s Guide.” This class is presented at no cost on Thursday, July 16th, from 11:00am – 12:00pm in the Wyatt Room at Partners In Care in Bend, located at 2611 NE Courtney Dr. Lunch will graciously be provided at no cost by Whispering Winds Retirement at 10:45am.

Partners In Care is honored to welcome back Dr. Allison Lindauer, a nationally certified gerontological nurse practitioner and associate professor at OHSU’s Oregon Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. Dr. Lindauer has 20 years of experience in aging care, specializing in dementia caregiving, telehealth, and community engagement. Attendees will gain practical strategies to better understand and manage common dementia-related behaviors while supporting the well-being of both the person living with dementia and their care partners.

“Families often struggle to make sense of dementia-related behaviors and don’t know how to respond,” said Simeon Rose, Business Development and Community Education Manager at Partners In Care. “My hope is that attendees leave with greater understanding, practical advice, and the confidence to support their loved one along the journey.”

Space is limited, and RSVPs are requested. Call (541) 410-3918 or email communityevents@partnersbend.org to RSVP. Parking available at 2611 NE Courtney Drive, Bend, OR, 97701. Future classes will be shared on the Partners In Care website at www.partnersbend.org/community-education/.
