Daily Agenda for 'Tour dementia' Action: Highlighting Information, Meetings for Family Members and Victims Affected by Dementia

On September 17, 2025, Bergisch Gladbach will host a Dementia Action Day, an event aimed at raising awareness and providing support for those affected by dementia. The day will be organised in conjunction with the World Alzheimer's Day and the annual bike tour "Tour Demenz".

The event offers a varied program, including lectures, exhibitions, interactive activities, and information booths. The action day will kick off at 10:00 AM with a lecture by Senior Physician Meike Jacobsen from EVK Bergisch Gladbach, titled "Dement - what now?".

At 12:00 PM, Claudia Freudenberger from the guardianship office of the city of Bergisch Gladbach will give a lecture titled "Legal representation options in dementia - legal guardianship is good, power of attorney is better". This will be followed by a consultation on powers of attorney and precautions provided by the guardianship office.

Participation in all events is free of charge. Registration is required for some offers, such as the guided tour "With all senses in the rhythm of memory" at Villa Zanders at 4:00 PM, and the lecture by Nicole Sutschet, Police Sergeant and Traffic Safety Advisor of the Accident Prevention, titled "Driving with dementia - assistance for relatives and interested parties" at 5:30-7:00 PM. Registration must be completed by September 15, 2025.
