Thank you so much for entertaining us, Stephen Fuller,
Happy Birthday to our September baby, Frances. Missing from our picture is Miss Petito.
While this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s events will be different, they continue to be deeply meaningful. They continue to help raise awareness about the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. They continue to help raise funds that make a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer’s. Brookdale Senior Living Inc. continues to be one of the largest corporate supporters of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year, thousands of Brookdale associates, residents, and patients are participating in or supporting virtual walks across the country.

When Jack York, iN2L's co-founder and president, saw that conventional technology was too difficult for most older adults to use meaningfully, he decided to find a way to make it accessible for all levels of physical and cognitive ability. We are thrilled to have him join Brookdale’s Director of Dementia Care and Programs, Juliet Holt-Klinger to discuss the use of technology to create personalized experiences that engage and connect older adults to their loved ones for our webinar on November 18th.
