In the United States alone, more than 6.7 million individuals are living with Alzheimer’s and 11 million are serving as their caregivers. The disease is a global crisis that impacts numerous families right here in our community. However, no one has to face this disease alone or without information.
Hear from our own members who are currently experiencing this within their family or loved ones. How did it present itself? What evolution did they see? The challenging choices and conversations, the demands on the caregiver.
The Alzheimer’s Association® has created an education program covering the basics of Alzheimer’s and dementia to provide a general overview for people who are facing a diagnosis as well as those who wish to be informed.
The one-hour Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia program:
● Explores the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
● Examines what happens in a brain affected by Alzheimer’s.
● Details the risk factors for and three general stages of the disease.
● Identifies FDA-approved treatments available to treat some symptoms.
● Looks ahead to what’s on the horizon for Alzheimer’s research.
● Offers helpful Alzheimer’s Association® resources.
Zoom Link information will be shared via email with registered participants the day before the event.
