Join the Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center (ADRC), and National Task Group for Intellectual Disabilities and Dementia Practices (NTG) for a panel about Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Dr. Brian Chicoine, Dr. Seth Keller, and Amy Kolb-Tucker will discuss the barriers that adults with Down syndrome face in Alzheimer’s diagnosis/treatment, such as lack of access to knowledgeable healthcare providers. They will also provide practical tips and opportunities for families and healthcare providers to navigate and begin to address those barriers.
This month is about discovering resources to help you care for yourself. We have invited Leeza’s Care Connection to provide tips, strategies, and resources to help you navigate the caregiving role and find that balance. Whether you are caring for a loved one with a disability or someone experiencing Alzheimer’s disease, they believe that you don’t have to walk this path alone. Please join us to find out the many resources and educational opportunities they offer.
Join us and learn about Community Options Integrated Services (COIS), a unique housing option for your loved one’s future. We will hear from Ingrid Rushing, who is the owner and CEO of COIS. Ingrid is an advocate and is passionate about her work and what her organization offers and is looking forward to sharing with all of you.
