A Monthly Virtual Gathering for Caregivers

To RSVP, please email coaching@susiesarkisian.com

At The Kensington, YOU, as a family caregiver, matter to us as much as our residents do. We understand that caregiving for a senior with or without dementia is a demanding responsibility. We also believe that it is one you should not undertake alone.

That’s why we strive to preserve your well-being by helping you stay positive, manage fatigue and make the most of moments as your loved one’s body and memory changes. Join us the second Monday of every month to share time connecting with other caregivers and discussing common challenges in a welcoming, private setting. Let The Kensington be your trusted resource for information and the comforting ally you need!

Please note: This event is complimentary for current Kensington families, but does involve a fee for guests.

You’re cordially invited to an educational event focused on understanding Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and recognizing when it goes beyond typical aging. Hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, this event aims to provide valuable insights for family caregivers into identifying signs of MCI, its impact on daily life, and steps for early intervention.

Join Meg Boyce, LMSW, Alzheimer’s Association, Hudson Valley Chapter, as she leads this interactive workshop on behaviors and symptoms associated with dementia. Her presentation will include tips and strategies to help caregivers identify situations where they loved ones exhibit signs of MCI or other dementia conditions versus normal aging. Meg Boyce will provide you with tools to understand forgetful behaviors and recognize cornering memory loss signs. For example, it’s not the same thing to misplace your keys than to forget what they are used for.

This event is essential for anyone interested in understanding cognitive health, caregivers supporting loved ones with MCI, and individuals seeking guidance on memory concerns. Together, let’s navigate the complexities of MCI and empower ourselves with knowledge and support. Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity!

Meg Boyce is an LMSW, and Vice President, Programs and Services at the Alzheimer’s Association, Hudson Valley Chapter. She received her Masters of Social Work from Fordham University in 1995.  From 1995 until 2000 Meg worked in the Long-Term Care field as Director of Social Work for two Nursing facilities in Dutchess County.   In 2000 she joined the Hudson Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association as the Program Director and was promoted to Vice President of Programs and Services in 2013.  In this role she oversees the programs and services that are offered by the chapter in order to meet the needs of the community the chapter serves. Meg is also a Research Champion for the Alzheimer’s Association.
