Empowering Caregivers: The Free Alzheimer’s Webinar You Can’t Afford to Miss

The Dorothy and Peter Brown Jewish Community Adult Day Program is set to host a vital webinar for Alzheimer's caregivers on January 29, 2026. This free event aims to equip attendees with essential knowledge about the latest treatments and support options for those living with Alzheimer’s disease. Caregivers play a critical role in the lives of individuals with dementia; therefore, understanding available resources and therapies is crucial.

Understanding Alzheimer’s Treatment: What Every Caregiver Should Know

Webinar attendees can expect to gain insights into FDA-approved therapies such as Rexulti and Kisunla, which are among the newest developments in Alzheimer's treatment. These sessions will cover how these medications work, their benefits and potential side effects, and the ways caregivers can access them. In a world where over 202,000 individuals in Michigan alone are living with Alzheimer’s, education is a powerful tool for supporting both patients and their families.

Emotional Support and Resources for Caregivers

As emphasized by Debi Banooni, the director of the Brown Center, receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s can lead to overwhelming emotions. It's crucial for families to know they are not alone in this journey. The Alzheimer’s Association, along with local resources, provides a safety net consisting of research-backed information and emotional support networks. Groups such as ALZConnected offer a community for caregivers to share experiences and find solace among peers who understand their struggles.

Innovative Activities at the Brown Center

The Brown Center stands out by offering more than just care; it provides an array of engaging activities designed to enrich the lives of its members. From art therapy to music sessions and games, these programs are crafted not only to foster cognitive engagement but also to bring joy to individuals in its care.

The Future of Alzheimer’s Care: Trends and Predictions

As we look to the future, advancements in Alzheimer’s care are expected to expand significantly. Research is continuously uncovering new, innovative therapies and insights.
