Many of us have had our lives or the lives of our loved affected by neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.  The impact of these diseases can be devastating, requiring placement in special Alzheimer or Parkinson’s units or other assisted living settings.  It does help to know as much about the disease process as possible.  For those in the Vancouver WA and Portland OR area, there is another educational opportunity for the community’s residents.

 A free community forum will address the three diseases from diagnosis to the latest treatments and research.  After the three experts speak, there will be a question-and-answer session.

 The forum will be held at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in the Southern Auditorium on November 1, 2012 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  The location is at 9205 SW Barnes Road in Portland.  Register for the forum at http://www.providence.org/brain or call 503-216-1055.

 It is our hope that you find the community forum presentations helpful.  When you have any questions about senior housing options for anyone who requires more care than can be provided in their homes, know that we are available to assist you in the process of selecting the right assisted living or adult family home solution.
