The Sangamon County Department of Public Health is actively promoting a complimentary educational series designed to assist caregivers of individuals living or working on farms who exhibit symptoms of dementia. This initiative is set to enhance the support system for those affected within agricultural settings.
Organized by the Great Plains Center for Agricultural Health, the “Farm Families Coping with Dementia” (FFCD) series is an engaging online program consisting of four parts. It aims to address the unique safety and caregiving challenges that arise when dementia occurs in rural and agricultural environments—a niche often overlooked.
