or call 704-909-2070. Learn How To Keep Your Memory Strong Tuesday, September 14 Part of a free autumn series on Alzheimer’s, co-sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association. Adult day care services available for your loved one with prior notice. Do you forget names, dates, and other important information? Do you lose your train of thought more often than you’d like? That happens to everyone as they get older. But those normal developments can be a little scary when you have loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease. You may worry that your memory is slipping, or wonder if you’re seeing the signs of early Alzheimer’s disease in yourself or a family member. Learn how to keep your memory strong as you age, and how you may be able to slow the progression of dementia in a loved one, at a free workshop from the Alzheimer's Association Western Carolina Chapter and The Ivey, the adult day care center in the SouthPark area of Charlotte. The two non-profits will host “Now What Was I Saying?” on Tuesday, September 14. Choose from two times -- 2 to 4 pm, or 6 to 8 pm -- at The Ivey, 6030 Park South Drive. The workshop is free but pre-registration is requested. To pre-register, call The Alzheimer's Association at 704/532-7390. You’ll learn how the brain and memory work, and you'll discover ways to maintain a healthy brain as you age. This is a fun, interactive workshop where you’ll learn surprising information about yourself. The presenter is Margaret Moody, program associate for the Alzheimer's Association Western Carolina Chapter. Adult day care services are available during the presentation for caregivers who need assistance for their loved ones. This must be arranged in advance by calling The Ivey at 704/909-2070. “Now What Was I Saying?” is part of a free autumn series on Alzheimer’s at The Ivey, co-sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association. Future workshops in the series include “When the Diagnosis is Alzheimer’s" on Saturday, October 9, and “Alzheimer’s and the Holidays” on Tuesday, November 9. Adult day care services are available during the presentation for caregivers who need assistance for their loved ones. This must be arranged in advance by calling The Ivey at 704/909-2070. |
