10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s and other dementias cause memory, thinking and behavior problems that interfere with daily living. This program helps people recognize common signs of the disease and know what to watch for in themselves and others. Participants will learn about typical age-related changes, common signs of Alzheimer’s, and how to approach someone about memory concerns. Other helpful Alzheimer’s resources also will be provided.

Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Participants will explore the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, learn what happens in a brain affected by Alzheimer’s, learn about risk factors and the three general stages of the disease, and receive other helpful Alzheimer’s resources. This program is designed for people who are facing a diagnosis as well as those who wish to be informed.

Alzheimer’s Disease: Healthy Living for Your Brain and Body
At any age, there are lifestyle habits we can adopt to help maintain or even potentially improve our health. These habits may also help to keep our brains healthy as we age and possibly delay the onset of cognitive decline. This workshop covers four areas of lifestyle habits that are associated with healthy aging:

  • Cognitive activity
  • Physical health and exercise
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Social engagement

In each area, we will discuss what we know, drawing on current research, as well as what we can do — steps to take now to improve or maintain overall health in each area. This program is designed for individuals of any age who are interested in healthy living and aging well.
