GROWS Networking Breakfast: Bright Minds, Brighter Futures
Join us for Bright Minds, Brighter Futures, a special GROWS Networking Breakfast designed to bring together healthcare professionals, community partners, and senior care advocates for a morning of meaningful connections and shared learning. Enjoy breakfast while networking with fellow professionals dedicated to supporting older adults and advancing innovative approaches to aging and cognitive wellness.
During the program, the Kensington team will present on how our commitment to brain health has established us as a Cognitive Center of Excellence. In a 15-minute presentation, you’ll learn how the Brain Care Assessment Tool (BCAT®) helps better understand each individual’s cognitive abilities, allowing us to create personalized care plans that preserve strengths, promote independence, and enhance quality of life.
Featured speakers, Dr. Amanda Goldfarb, Kensington’s Medical Director, and Emilee LaRose, Music Therapist and Director of Creative Arts Therapies, will share insights into the importance of early cognitive assessment, person-centered care, and the innovative therapeutic approaches that support residents living with cognitive change.
For questions, please email Bianca Sauro, Director of Community Partnerships, at BSauro@kensingtonsl.com.
