Learn about Brain Health! An offering from our friends at the Aging & Disability Resource Center!

Hello Friends & Colleagues,

Brain health is a hot topic for older adults, their families, the professionals who support them – really, for all of us. The Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging is offering a free webinar titled Let’s Be Optimistic About Brain Health to share strategies for maintaining a healthy brain and reducing the risk of dementia. 

Dr. Carol Van Hulle, a researcher in the Department of Medicine at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, will provide an overview of the changes that come with normal aging and talk about the things people can do to improve brain health and function. 

Older adults, family members, professionals – all are encouraged to attend. Please share this widely. 

When: Thursday, November 1st: 1:00 pm – 2:00 CST

Thank you Hailey Loeffelholz, Dementia Care Specialist from the Aging and Disability Resource Center!

We’re proud to have partnered with the Grant County ADRC to support our staff at Unified! This week Hailey Loeffelholz, Dementia Care Specialist, provided Unified Community Services staff with empowering information and resources on how to be knowledgeable and effective care partners to those they serve outside of their professional commitment to Unified.

When our staff have the resources they need to thrive in both their private and professional lives, we all benefit. Life isn’t easy, but it builds confidence and cohesion when we know we’re not alone in our challenges. We’re proud to be an employer that takes seriously our staff’s challenges and invests in their wellness.

The Aging & Disability Resource Center is a phenomenal community resource! Learn more at the links below.
