130,000 people in Massachusetts have Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia according to the Alzheimer's Association. Sadly, the number of people impacted by these conditions affecting memory, thinking, and behavior will likely increase to 150,000 in less than 5 years.
SeniorCare Inc. is welcoming you to participate in a 1-hour information session (virtual organized by www.dementiafriendsma.org/) that covers the key messages everyone should know about dementia.
Alzheimer's and dementia are serious health issues and people having memory loss may not notice the problem. Let's learn more.
Each of the organizations that I have mentioned are non-profits dedicated to serving the needs of others. SeniorCare serves nine communities including: #Beverly, #Essex, #Gloucester, #Hamilton, #Ipswich, #Manchester-by-the-Sea, #Rockport, #Topsfield, and #Wenham
