Did you know that every 68 seconds someone in the world develops Alzheimer’s disease? According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 5 million people have Alzheimer’s today and by 2050 this number will triple.

On May 15, 2013, Longwood at Oakmont, a Presbyterian SeniorCare Continuing Care Retirement Community in Plum, will host Dr. Len Lecci, Director of Clinical Services at MARS Memory Health Network, to educate the greater Pittsburgh area seniors and caregivers about Alzheimer's, a life altering disease.

During this event, attendees will be educated on the most common forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease and Vascular dementia,  as well as how to detect the early warning signs in order to play a more active role in identification. Seniors and caregivers will also be introduced to various new and emerging treatments of these diseases that will provide information regarding multiple options for treatment.
