FREE Dementia Symposium for Providers and Caregivers at Margaret Tietz

The Samuel Field Y giving is a Dementia Symposium for Providers and Caregivers at Margaraet Tietz Nursing and Rehabilitation Center on Wednesday, January 22, with breakfast and registration kicking off at 9:30 AM.

Join us as we'll help you with research, as well as treatment and caregiver support for your loved ones with Dementia. Featured speakers include Jane Bardavid, LCSW, the director of the Samuel Field Y's Community Advisory Program for Elderly, Jed Levine, MA, the executive vice president and director of Programs and Services Alzheimer's Association (NYC chapter), and Joan Serrano Laufer, LCSW, who is the executive director of the Queensboro Council for Social Welfare.
With a growing population of seniors dealing with the onset of dementia and all the ensuing challenges, it is crucial for caregivers to be as educated as possible in order to provide their loved ones with the support and care they need. An estimated 5.2 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease, and 80 percent of their care is provided by unpaid caregivers, usually family members.

If you are interested in attending the symposium, please contact Linda Spiegel at lspiegel@centerlight.org or call (718) 298-7838. Valet parking will be available.
