AgeSpan staff are Ready for What’s Next following a great day of learning and connection at the Mass Aging Access conference!

The event was an opportunity for professionals from Aging Services Access Points (ASAPs) and Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to come together to learn about practical approaches to today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.

Among the event presenters was AgeSpan Director of Nursing and Community Health Programs, Naomi Tang, who provided an overview of clinical requirements for nursing facility eligibility and how they apply to home and community-based services.

A Practical Path for AI for Organizations was the topic of a session led by a group of leaders including AgeSpan Chief Information Officer Jim Santiago. The panel shared ways AI can make organizations more efficient, but only with real people checking the work.

AgeSpan was proud to join this group of professionals from around the commonwealth to share ideas and move forward together.

September 21st is World Alzheimer’s Day

This year’s theme from Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) is: “The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters.”

If you or someone you love is noticing changes in memory or thinking:

🩺 Talk to a doctor about your concerns and get informed about what may be happening.

📅 Plan ahead for future care and important decisions.

🤝 Reach out for support from family, friends, and professionals.

The earlier you know, the more you can do.

Join us Friday, November 6, at the Blue Ocean Event Center in Salisbury, featuring keynote speaker and author, Tom Harrison.

Harrison is the author of The Complete Family Guide to Dementia and The Complete Family Guide to Addiction, offering families practical guidance, support, and hope through some of life’s most challenging journeys.
