Information stand on Ludwigsburg's market square: advice in the middle of the city
Another event as part of Dementia Week will take place on Thursday, September 25 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Ludwigsburg's market square: The care support center of the city of Ludwigsburg and the district's support group will be providing advice on contact points, relief services and everyday aids for dealing with dementia at an information stand by the fountain on the market square. The stand is aimed at those affected, relatives, but also people who are experiencing initial changes or are simply curious. The focus is on personal discussions, open questions and the signal: you are not alone. Living with dementia is possible - and humanity knows no boundaries when it comes to diagnosis.
