Good oral health is essential for overall wellness and comfort, especially for aging loved ones. Poor oral hygiene can cause serious health problems to arise, or it can worsen existing conditions.

Join us at The Kensington White Plains for this educational presentation with Susan Russo and Naomi Favreau, Speech Language Pathologists at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital. Learn tips for preventing oral health challenges and what steps to take if your loved one is struggling to speak or swallow. Our experts will describe symptoms of dysphagia, dysarthria and dysphonia and then share strategies for optimal oral health maintenance.

Mix and mingle with our Leadership Team of experts, enjoy delicious delights from Executive Chef Norm and learn about the love and passion that we have for our residents and their families. Our best-in-class professionals are honored to deliver comprehensive care and support for residents at every stage of their journey.
