2024 Elder Care Symposium

Our third annual Elder Care Symposium is focused on hot topics in the field of aging and elder care. We will look at how gender and race impact a person's risk of developing dementia, as well as the care they receive after diagnosis, develop a better understanding of how to connect with people who have dementia to prevent and address concerning behaviors, examine contributing factors that cause seniors to be impacted by hoarding more than younger populations, learn the best ways to maintain our brain health as we age, take a closer look at the mental health of aging Americans, and much more. This symposium offers an opportunity to learn from experts in the field from around the globe - giving attendees a clear picture of current issues facing our elders.
