The Alzheimer’s Association Iowa Chapter is offering a free virtual education series to kick-off the new year. The programs are available to help those living with Alzheimer’s and their families understand what to expect so they can be prepared to meet the changes ahead and live well for as long as possible.
The topics covered will range from what changes to expect from your loved one in the different stages of the disease to legal and financial issues to consider to new advancements in Alzheimer’s research.
Each virtual education program will be held over Zoom and allows the audience to ask questions and engage with others going through an Alzheimer’s journey. The schedule of programs includes:
