AARP Colorado would like to make you aware of the following event.

It makes sense as we age that we want to keep our brains active, but did you know that it’s just as important to keep your body physically fit?

As if COVID-19 isn’t scary enough, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is telling us what many family caregivers for people living with Alzheimer’s disease already know: the social isolation that the coronavirus requires is having a detrimental impact on our loved ones living with dementia. It’s a statistic they call “deaths above average.”

Loss and the grief that emerges from it are both deeply personal and also universal experiences. The path through is not a simple one, but it is well worn and understood -- and you do not have to walk it alone.
