Virtual Presentation: Health and Wealth with the Alzheimer’s Association

Wednesday, February 17 from 12:30 – 2:00 pm.

The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease makes both legal and health planning more important than ever. This two part program will offer information about legal and financial and health issues to consider, how to put plans in place and how to access legal and financial resources near you. Legal topics covered will include:  making legal plans that fit your needs, legal documents you’ll need, how to find legal and financial assistance, practical strategies for making a long-term care plan and government programs that can help pay for care,  tips around beneficiary designees, life insurance and protecting against scams and fraud.  Regarding health issues, there are lifestyle habits we can adopt to help maintain or even potentially improve our health. This workshop covers four areas of lifestyle habits associated with healthy aging: Cognitive activity, exercise, diet/nutrition and social engagement. In each area, we will discuss what we know, drawing on current research, as well as what we can do – steps to take now to improve or maintain overall health in each area.
