LEADING THE WAY WITH EDUCATION

Despite the growing number of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, many people lack a full understanding of it or feel unprepared to face it.

Our free educational classes help caregivers learn practical care strategies, train professionals on how to serve people with memory loss, and teach others our community about important topics related to dementia, brain health and other vital healthy aging topics.
