The two-part program will be held on Tuesday, May 12 & Tuesday, May 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 pm, at Newton Medical Center, The Romano Conference Center – Room 6, 175 High Street, Newton. The program is free but registration is required to reserve seating and materials. Please call 973.586.4300 to RSVP.

Program Description: Early-stage Alzheimer’s is the beginning stage of the disease when changes in memory, thinking, and communication become noticeable. Individuals may have difficulty completing complex tasks and require more time to complete normal daily tasks. Family caregivers can adjust to living with Alzheimer’s disease through an understanding of early-stage symptoms, making adaptations in daily living routines and roles, and planning for future changes and needs. This program will offer information for caregivers about adjusting to the diagnosis, developing a care team, accessing community supports and resources, and making legal, financial, and safety plans for the future.
