MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Council on Aging will host a Dementia and Alzheimer’s educational program on Sept. 28 at 1 p.m.

The free one-hour program explores typical age-related changes, describes common signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia, offers tips for how to approach someone about memory concerns, explains the importance of early detection and benefits of diagnosis, details possible tests and assessments for diagnostic process, and identifies helpful resources.

The presentation will be held both in person at the Mattapoisett COA, and over Zoom.
