Description
At Kensington Senior Living, our mission to improve and preserve the quality of life for every resident is a collaborative effort. To that end, we have built strong relationships with expert medical professionals who keep us current with the latest advances in care, management and treatment of conditions that affect seniors and their families.
Please join us for an interactive conversation with some of the world’s top neurology specialists who are driving initiatives to prevent and cure Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Lauren Miller Rogen of HFC leads this dynamic, all-women panel as they share the latest breakthroughs in research and treatment options, including the controversial FDA approval of the new Biogen medication, Aduhelm, to treat Alzheimer’s. They will discuss the impact of brain disease on families, what to do after diagnosis and how to manage challenges that commonly result from changing family dynamics. Finally, they will offer recommendations about lifestyle habits that can help reduce the risk of memory loss and other degenerative brain diseases.
This event is in collaboration with Cedars Sinai, UCLA, USC, UCSF and Stanford, with a panel discussion moderated by Lauren Miller Rogen.
