Keynote Speaker for this year’s conference “A Meaningful Life
with Alzheimer's disease” is John Zeisel, PhD. Dr. John Zeisel is the internationally renowned author of “I’m Still Here.” He proves a theory that many of us who
love someone with Alzheimer’s have suspected: that the person who is changed by
the disease is still inside, waiting to be awakened and nurtured with love,
music, with paintings, and with poems, as well as one-on-one communication and
physical and mental exercises.
Caregivers may attend free of charge. The Alzheimer's Association is
providing free respite care for those who do need someone to watch their loved one, while they attend this event. Respite will be available at both our
Detroit and Southfield locations. Advance registration for respite is required.
