MANITOWOC, Wis. (Sept. 1, 2026) – Felician Village will offer a free public 
workshop, Beyond Behaviors: Identifying and Meeting Unmet Needs, on 
Wednesday, October 28, at 10:30 a.m. at Felician Village, 1635 S. 21st Street, 
Manitowoc. 
Regardless of age, we all express our needs through words or actions. When 
dementia is in the picture, it can be harder to find the right, or any, words to 
communicate unmet needs. Join Sheri Fairman, MSW, CMD CP, Dementia Care 
Solutions, LLC, to learn more about relationship-centered care, developing 
advanced communication and observation skills, and building confidence in 
adapting your approach. 
If you are caring for a loved one at home, supporting someone in a care setting, 
or want to be more supportive of a family member or friend, this workshop 
offers tools to better respond to expressions. 
This workshop is provided at no charge, thanks to our generous Felician Village
donors, Dee Ann Keip and the Morton F. Silver Fund.
