Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. It is a progressive and fatal brain disease that is the most common form of dementia.
In the United States alone, more than 5 million individuals are living with Alzheimer’s and 16 million are serving as their unpaid 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.
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.
To help people age well, the Alzheimer’s Association® is offering the Understanding Alzheimer’s and dementia program on Thursday, November 7 from 1:00-2:00 pm. The course will be held at the Luis Oasis Senior Center, 420 Soares Ave, Orcutt, CA. Call (800) 272-3900 to register in advance. Seating is limited.
