Wednesday, October 28 at 6:30pm at Grand Oaks Assisted Living, 5901 MacArthur Blvd NW, Washington DC 20016

Join us to learn to decode behavioral messages, identify common behavior triggers, and learn strategies to help intervene with some of the most common behavioral challenges of Alzheimer’s disease.
