The Basics of Alzheimer’s

May 16, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Puzzle depicting alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. If you or someone you know is affected by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, it’s time to learn the facts.

Patrick Toal, a geriatric social worker from the Alzheimer’s Association Aloha Chapter, will cover:

• Symptoms and effects of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia
• Causes and risk factors
• How to find out if it’s Alzheimer’s disease
• The benefits of early detection
• Treatment
• Hope for the future
• Ways the Alzheimer’s Association can help

All programs are subject to change. If you require an auxiliary aid or accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days before the program date.
