About

The Need:

Some nursing home residents experience social isolation and loneliness.

Social isolation increases risks for depression, cognitive decline, and pre-mature death.

An estimated 7.4 million Americans aged 65 and older live with Alzheimer's dementia in 2026.

Community education for Alzheimer's disease may reduce stigma, promote early detection, and support families.

Educational initiatives help the public recognize early warning signs, understand behavioral changes, and navigate available care resources.

Semi-annual “Roundtable” with the Glennan Center.
