Our goal is to provide valuable information to families, caregivers, and the community, helping them better support their loved ones affected by these progressive neurological conditions.

Alzheimer's and Dementia: The Basics

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of cases. Although aging is the most significant risk factor, Alzheimer's is not a normal part of the aging process. The disease leads to a continuous decline in thinking, memory, and behavioral abilities, impacting a person's capacity to function independently.

At our Senior Academy of Naperville seminars, expert speakers will delve into the intricacies of Alzheimer's disease and dementia, providing a deeper understanding of their progression, effects, and the unique challenges they present.
