Los costos directos del cuidado de las personas con enfermedad de Alzheimer u otras demencias se estiman en más de $ 200 mil millones. Se proyecta que estos costos se eleven a $ 1.1 billones para el año 2050. AFA otorga subvenciones a sus organizaciones miembros por servicios y apoyos para el cuidado, así como por investigaciones para una cura.

Reposted from @move.w.jackie: Yesterday, we had the privilege of creating art with the facilitation by licensed creative arts therapist Emily Sharp. ⠀
⠀
Emily’s directive for the group was for participants to capture their favorite Thanksgiving meal using markers, colored pencils, and pastels. ⠀
A long sheet of paper lined the table with a circle representing a plate. Everyone filled their plate with delicious food. This sparked memories and conversation. The group discussed their favorite desserts, wines, and the people they wanted to share their meal with. ⠀
⠀
At AFA, we provide art as well as a wide variety of therapeutic programs every week! If you are local to NYC, please join us! Check out ur programs at alzfn.org/communityclasses⠀
