Normal Aging vs a Brain Living with Dementia
Presenter: Sofia Walsh, Area Director of Memory Care Support at Benchmark
This presentation highlights the difference between a normal aging brain—where mild forgetfulness may occur without disrupting daily life—and a brain with dementia, where cognitive decline significantly impacts memory, communication, and independence. It emphasizes how dementia is not a normal part of aging, but a progressive condition affecting brain function. The presentation also focuses on ways to support brain health, including staying physically active, mentally engaged, socially connected, and maintaining a balanced diet and good sleep habits.
Beverages and heavy appetizers will be served.
