Let’s Get Together — a Social Club for Seniors! Join us for this daily online activity session designed to engage seniors who are living at home and struggle with anxiety, boredom, depression, loneliness and have limited opportunities to engage socially with others. Each session will feature a guest presenter who will guide participants through fun and engaging activities. Participants will be joined by others who find themselves in a similar situation.
These activities will include things like arts, games, music, movement, all with a social component. Having a routine can be a major benefit for seniors at home and staying connected can reduce the risk for heart disease, stroke, and dementia, the program is offered five days a week!

Alzheimer's Association Fall Seminar - Virtual
2022-11-17 09:00 - 12:30 | ON-LINE ZOOM
This event is being co-hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association and Texas Healthy at Home.
Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease is critical, and empowering oneself with the right information and resources is the first step toward living well with a diagnosis.
As we age, we can all expect subtle changes to take place in our memory and thinking. But dementia is not a normal part of aging. Phrases such as early onset, younger onset, or Mild Cognitive Impairment can be confusing or misunderstood. This event will offer clarity around the diagnostic process, what living well with a diagnosis can look like, treatments on the horizon, and how caregivers can best support their loved ones.
Sessions include:
Early Diagnosis: Maximizing Time, Empowering Decisions, and Accessing Treatment presented by Heidi Rosetti, PhD, neuropsychologist
Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia presented by Jane Hunley, LMSW
Carpe Diem: Perspectives Following an MCI Diagnosis presented by Dan Jaworski, Alzheimer’s Association Early Stage Advisory Group member
“I want to go home!” Responding to Challenging Questions in Dementia Care presented by Loy Campbell, occupational therapist
Advances in Alzheimer’s Research presented by Percy Griffin, PhD
3 hours of complimentary CEUs will be offered for nurses, social workers and LPCs.
