Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
Monday, February 3, 2020, 2:00 pm
Come join Penn’s Village for an interesting presentation on the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Learn what the warning signs are and what you and your health professionals can do to provide needed treatment. Mike Williams of the Delaware Valley chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association will lead our discussion. He has been a community educator and facilitator for two caregiver support groups of the Alzheimer’s Association for seven years. He will cover the following topics:
- Detecting Alzheimer’s Disease
- The benefits of early detection
- How to address a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease
- Causes and risk factors
- Stages of the disease and treatment options, including potential future options
The program will be in the MacColl Room on the 2nd Floor of the First Presbyterian Church, 201 South 21st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103. The entrance is on 21st Street. There is an elevator for handicapped accessibility. Please let us know in advance if this is needed.
This program is free of charge for Penn’s Village members, volunteers and donors. Guests are welcome to attend up to three programs before being required to join and/or volunteer with Penn’s Village. If you attend as a guest, there is a $10 fee for each program.
Please RSVP online by email info@pennsvillage.org or by phone (215) 925-7333. Please cancel if you are unable to make your reservation so there will be room for others.
