The purpose of this full day conference was to provide innovative best practice methods to maintain an active lifestyle despite the cognitive, emotional and physical disabilities older adults with memory loss so often face.  A balance must be found between medical and lifestyle approaches. This conference highlighted the latest research along with best practices from around the world. The target audience was recreational therapists, nurses, rehab professionals, long term care administrators, and advocates for older adults. [Download a Flyer]
