Maplewood at Stony Hill

Candid Conversations: A Maplewood at Stony Hill Memory Resource &amp; Support Center Series Offering Expert Guidance &amp; Personal Perspectives on Dementia&nbsp;
Discover real stories and insights on dementia told by a panel of Maplewood at Stony Hill family members.
Among the panelists is Jim Taylor, President and CEO of Voices of Alzheimer’s, whose advocacy has helped
drive advancements like a groundbreaking 10-point bill of rights evolving the conversation on this disease.
Drawing from caring for his wife at Maplewood at Stony Hill, first diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment
then Alzheimer’s, Jim shares powerful insights. His urgent mission amplifies patient voices, increases
understanding, and secures improved care access, affordable treatments, prompt diagnosis, and dignity
for those with dementia. Don’t miss Jim and fellow families courageously narrating their journeys.
Dinner will be served during this session.
