Senator Hannon Announces His Free Alzheimer’s Seminar This November 9th
Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau) announces that his 2011 Alzheimer’s Seminar will take place on November 9, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, at St. Paul’s School (Cluett Hall Building), in Garden City.
“I’m pleased to bring a wonderful guest speaker, Virginia Belling, to discuss important topics related to Alzheimer’s,” said Senator Hannon. “As an RN specializing in Geriatric Care Management, Ms. Belling is an expert in the field and can address any questions residents may have concerning this disease.”
Topics to be covered include: Signs and Symptoms – What part of memory loss is age related and what memory loss you should be worried about, and Causes of Alzheimer’s – who you should see if you suspect someone is suffering from Alzheimer’s, medications that can help, what can be done to lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, what kind of quality of life someone suffering from Alzheimer’s can expect, and types of living accommodations available to them, and much, much more.
“Alzheimer’s disease is one form of ‘senior dementia’ that gradually gets worse over time. It affects memory, thinking, and behavior,” said Senator Hannon. “Memory impairment, as well as problems with language, decision-making ability, judgment, and personality, are necessary features for the diagnosis.”
Reservations are necessary, and can be made by calling Senator Hannon’s Community Office at 516-739-1700 or by visiting www.kemphannon.com (look under “events”).
