The Kensington is a leading senior living provider of assisted living and memory care, led by a talented team who is committed to excellence. We are proud to be a trusted source of information about dementia and Alzheimer’s care and are here to offer education and support. If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, then a decline in memory or change in thinking is making daily life difficult. Although memory loss and altered thought are common to all dementias, there are different types, each with distinct causes and characteristics.
Join us as Melissa Long of Insight Memory Care Center educates us about the five kinds of dementia. Learn about emotional, physical and cognitive changes common to Vascular Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) and Parkinson’s/CTE Dementia. And gain insight into their differences.
Melissa Long is the Director of Education and Support at Insight Memory Care Center in Fairfax, VA. Melissa is a certified recreational therapist, certified dementia practitioner, and a Licensed BCAT® practitioner. Through Melissa’s experience both clinically and in the community, she brings and provides out of the box thinking and support to both clients and caregivers daily.
