Ventura County, CA. — The legal ramifications once someone is diagnosed with dementia are important and can be overwhelming to address. The sooner legal planning can begin, the more the person with dementia may be able to participate in the process.

To address this need, the Alzheimer’s Association will present two free “brown bag” seminars in July addressing the legal aspects of dementia. Interested parties are encouraged to bring their own lunch to either or both seminars, which are scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Alzheimer’s Association Ventura County office in Camarillo at 80 North Wood Road #302.

Legal Issues: Powers of Attorney and Medi-Cal will be presented by Attorney Michael Williams on Friday, July 8. There will be plenty of time to ask questions.

Empower Yourself Through Mediation will be presented by Attorney Brent Rosenbaum on Friday, July 22. He will explain the mediation process and how mediators can guide family members to expert sources, additional resources and options to help resolve and heal differences.

Seating is limited. Reserve a space or get more information by calling the Alzheimer’s Association Ventura County office at (805) 484-6028 or by emailing carol.swinney@alz.org.
