Learn about Alzheimer's, Memory Loss and Dementia

1 in 3 Baby Boomers know someone with Alzheimer’s disease.

Is it normal, age related memory loss and nothing to worry about, or could it be the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease?  With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, this is a question that is being asked much more frequently.  Early detection of Alzheimer’s can make a huge difference in the quality of life not only for the person suffering from the disease, but for their care partners as well.

On Thursday, July 25th a free program entitled “Memory Loss, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease: The Basics” will be held from 2:30 to 3:30 PM at Joliet Area Community Hospice in Joliet.  The address for the program is 250 Water Stone Circle, Joliet 60431. Check-in will begin at 2:00 PM and, while there is no charge to attend this program, registration is required.

The program will be presented by the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter, and will teach participants the difference between just “getting older” and the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

Knowing the 10 Signs helps to empower people to combat the devastating financial and emotional toll that accompanies Alzheimer’s Disease.

Those interested can register by calling the Alzheimer’s Association®, Greater Illinois Chapter at 815.744.0804.
