Music has been shown to improve mood and cognition for people at all stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Call in to learn how to choose the right music, what equipment you will need, how to use it, and what to expect from a personalized music program.
Caregivers Speak: I wish I knew then what I know now
If you care for a person with dementia, you know there is always something new to learn. Whether your concern is how to best interact with the person, managing medical decisions, or learning how to take better care of yourself, you could probably use a coach! Join us to listen to experienced caregivers share their stories and wisdom.
How To Use Simple Physical Activities To Benefit People With Dementia
Learn about simple activities that yield great benefit for people with dementia, regardless of the stage of the disease. Some involve concentrated effort while others are as simple as doing tasks a bit differently – understanding how physical activity benefits our brain makes all the difference.
Improving Cognition: How to Use the Senses for People with Dementia
All memories are created in the brain with the help of the five senses, and some senses are more powerful in the memory-making process than others. Understanding the role the senses play in cognition and memory can equip us to help those with memory loss live fuller lives. Join us to learn some creative ways to harness all the senses throughout the day in order to help loved ones with dementia.
Why are Evenings So Difficult? Sundowning & Alzheimer’s disease
Though individuals with Alzheimer’s disease can have a tough time during the day, the nights can be especially challenging. Day and night can become confused, and late afternoons can be difficult due to a variety of contributing factors. We will look at those factors and discuss effective strategies for dealing with late day confusion, lethargy and sleeplessness.
Diagnosing Alzheimer’s: How To Prepare for the Appointment
Visiting a physician’s office can be an intimidating experience for people with memory loss and their caregivers. Whether seeking a diagnosis or going for a follow-up visit, it can be hard to think of what questions to ask or what information to share. Join us to learn what to expect from the appointment when dementia is suspected and what you can do to prepare for the visit.
Red Wine, Vitamins and Alzheimer’s: Do They Work?
While Alzheimer’s disease cannot be prevented or delayed, we do know that we can manage certain risk factors. Learn what we know about risk factors for Alzheimer’s and other dementias, the importance of cognitive reserve, and what common-sense steps we can start taking today to keep our brains healthy.
Dementia Vs. Alzheimer’s: What’s the Difference & Why it Matters
All people with memory loss do not have dementia, and all people with dementia do not have Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the difference between memory loss, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia is important in getting the right treatment and follow-up care. Learn what to do when your doctor suspects Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia.
