Parma, OH – February 24, 2019 – Ancora Memory Support at Mount Alverna Village, part of the Franciscan Communities, is hosting an informational presentation in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, titled “Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia” on Tuesday, March 10 at 6:00 p.m. on their campus located at 6765 State Road in Parma, Ohio.

This program is designed to provide basic information about memory loss issues and what it means for all of us. It incorporates video interviews with professionals, patients with dementia, and caregivers who discuss real life issues.

Ancora Memory Support is an extension of our continuum of care services and was intentionally designed to support the daily functioning of residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Our new, open floor plan building has private apartments which are staffed by highly-trained associates. Tailored mentally and physically stimulating activities are offered daily so residents feel engaged with their caregiver and neighbors.

Seating is limited and refreshments will be provided, so please RSVP by Marcy 2 to 440-663-3301 or mmyoung@franciscancommunities.org. Bring a friend and receive an extra door prize ticket!
