The free "Caring Counts" event features an author and Alzheimer's expert.

Arvada, CO, August 03, 2019 --(PR.com)-- The staff of Applewood Our House, which maintains five residential living homes for those with memory needs, invites community members to join them for an evening of information and caring related to Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The “Caring Counts” event will be held on Thursday, Aug. 22, 5:30 to 8 p.m., at the Arvada Center, Ballroom A, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada.

Dr. Huntington Potter, Director of the Rocky Mountain Alzheimer’s Disease Center, will give the keynote presentation at 6 p.m. He will provide information on several new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease that he is developing.

Dr. Huntington’s presentation will be followed by remarks and book signing (https://www.authortaylorhulett.com/) by Taylor Hulett, author of “About Faces: Expressions of Alzheimer’s and Dementia.” His book captures the depth of life stories of six special people as they journey through dementia.

The evening wraps up with a chance to learn and share at the Family Care Café, a support group facilitated by Dale Carter, wife of one of the Applewood Our house residents.

“It’s our goal that everyone who attends this special evening will gain a greater understanding about Alzheimer’s and Dementia, and how they can help family members and friends who are dealing with these diseases,” says Alan Wyngarden, owner of Applewood Our House.

Sponsors for the Caring Counts event include Rocky Mountain Senior Care, Heartland Pharmacy, Elevation Home Health and Hospice, and Optimal Home Health Care, Inc.
