This is one of the most exciting moments in Alzheimer’s research. For the first time, treatments can slow the disease, blood tests are helping detect changes earlier, and large prevention studies are showing how lifestyle choices may protect brain health. After decades of limited options, science is finally starting to turn the tide. 🔬 ⚛️ 🧠
We welcomed the NextGen Networking group to our Lake Oswego office for a presentation on brain health, followed by an exercise where we learned about what makes our brains worth caring for! 🧠
NextGen’s mission is to empower young professionals in the senior care industry and beyond to connect, collaborate, and grow together. Through networking, education, and mentorship, they strive to cultivate the next generation of leaders who will drive innovation, compassion, and excellence in serving others.
Thank you for joining us!
🎥 Behind the scenes: our all-ages Walk to End Alzheimer's committees are an inclusive place for community engagement, skill-building, and practicing joy; all for an amazing cause.

Take a walk! 👣 Be honest with yourself, have you moved as much as you could today?
April 1 is National Walking Day but regular physical exercise is an important part of overall healthy living - and it supports a healthy brain. 🧠
Studies show that even 20-30 minutes of walking a few times a week has health benefits. Activities that increase heart rate increase oxygen flow and improve connections among brain cells. There are lots of other ways to get moving. Find what works for you and build movement into your day.
The best time to start is now. 💜
Huge thank you to Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) for our participation in their recent "Brainstorm" -themed After Dark event.

As we continue , we start by honoring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Throughout her life, Justice O’Connor stood as a trailblazer, both as the first woman on the Supreme Court and as an advocate and caregiver for her husband John, who lived with Alzheimer's disease for nearly 20 years. In 2018, she bravely shared her own diagnosis of “dementia, probably Alzheimer’s disease,” in a letter to the American people.
Justice O'Connor worked to ensure caregivers and those living with dementia were represented and their voices were heard, even after stepping down from the court in 2005 to spend time with her husband. In 2009, she served as a member of the Alzheimer’s Study Group, whose report helped make Alzheimer’s a national priority.
Her years of work as an outspoken advocate for those living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia continues to inspire action, advocacy and change, and her voice remains as an enduring example in the fight to .
