Alois Alzheimer Center on CET

The Alois Alzheimer Center provided the panel for the CET Television Show, "Focus" to be aired on Thursday, September 1st at 7:30PM and on Sunday, September 4th at 12:30PM.

Tune in for a better understanding of how Alzheimer's disease and dementia impact families and individuals. This distinguished panel, Executive Director Susan Gilster Ph.D, Marvin Knobloch, Director of Outreach and Activities and Brook Wilson BSW, Director of Admissions, will also be covering many aspects of the care and needs of the individuals and families living with this disease and how the Alois Alzheimer Center continues to set the standard in focused programs, education of staff and community and caregiver support.

The Panel stressed the importance of educated staff and program that focus on fun, friendship, joy and a sense of belonging and self-esteem. Life for individuals with memory loss can be full and enjoyable, despite the disease.

As Susan Gilster states, "Every person with dementia is the love of someones life, and that we must never forget."
