Memory Care Expert Lectures at The Watermark at East Hill

Distinguished memory care expert Peter V. Rabins, MD, MDH of The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine recently presented a lecture on memory loss at The Watermark at East Hill in Southbury.

More than 100 people attended the event, during which Dr. Rabins discussed the effects of memory loss associated with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease versus other age-related changed to memory. He also talked about effective non-drug treatments to combat symptoms of memory loss, as well as preventative measures to help potentially slow the effects of the disease.

“Dr. Rabins provided our residents, guests and associates with valuable information not only about Alzheimer’s and dementia, but about how simple lifestyle changes, like getting more exercise, can have a positive impact on someone living with memory loss,” said Denise Julian, Director of Health Services at The Watermark.

In addition to being a professor of psychiatry at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Rabins has authored more than 280 scientific papers and eight books, including The 36-Hour Day, a widely-popular resource for caregivers now in its 5th edition.
