Why take the Alzheimer Disease and Dementia Seminar?
A loved one has Dementia
You were diagnosed with Dementia
Everyone either knows or will know someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia. Why not learn the tools you need to help not you and them?
You were diagnosed with Dementia
You were diagnosed with Dementia
You may feel lost and alone, traversing this new world. But we are here to help you start to understand what's happening
You work in a LTC facility
With 10,000 baby boomers a day turning 65, we need to empower staff now. No matter what your role is, you are a part of their life.
You are a nurse and need CEUs
We can offer nurses 7 CEUs for this seminar. We offer CEUs through InsPAC.
You are curious about Dementia
There is so much information about Dementia that sometimes you don't know where to start. You need to start at the beginning with us.
What if the answer is: All of the above
There is nothing worse than knowing what to expect without actually knowing. One size does not fit all, other people's journey will not be yours.
