NEWLY DISCOVERED ALZHEIMER'S GENES FURTHER HOPE FOR FUTURE TREATMENTS
|
An analysis of the genetic makeup of more than 94,000 people in the United States and Europe with clinically diagnosed Alzheimer's led to the discovery of four new genetic variants that increase risk for the neurodegenerative disease.
The study's findings will not change anyone's "day-to-day life or medical practice any time soon," said Heather Snyder, the Alzheimer's Association's senior director of medical and scientific operations.
"That said, they do give us potentially useful insights into the bodily processes that may cause or interact with the changes of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias," Snyder added.

Friday, February 22, a meeting of nine JSL Program Coordinators was held at Meer.
So many interesting trips are planned, entertainment schedules were shared and ideas were reviewed including invitations to educators, speakers, musicians and artists to visit JSL.
Our residents who can travel, appreciate heading far afield to visit unique Michigan points of interest during day trips. Leader Dogs in Rochester, The Parade Company in Detroit, Puppet Art in Southfield; The Princess Detroit river cruise are just a few of the ideas these hard working directors shared to bring joy to the lives of our JSL family. If you have a special skill and/or would like to be considered as a speaker, or have an idea for a place to bring our residents, please contact;
mblowers@jslmi.org
We are also working closely with the Jewish Community Center to invite more of our older adults to their wonderful programming. We hope families and friends of our residents take advantage of the JCC and support their fitness classes, tours of the Janice Charach Gallery with art talks by Wendy Evans, SAJE events, Mind Games and Movie Mornings; Poetry reading, Jazz at the J, Still Life Drawing classes, Pottery and Weaving; trips to the Fisher Theatre, Meadowbrook, Flint Museum; The Berman and the Jewish Film Festival, May 5-15 and the Jewish Book Fair Nov 3-12, 2019.
The JCC also coordinates trips to the DSO, hosts dances for seniors and celebrates Shabbat with their Child Development Center, inviting our seniors to join them for intergenerational experiences… L’Dor V’Dor!
So much to do, so little time!!
Get involved with JSL and bring the FUN to our residents!

JSL is looking toward the future for our residents, the fastest-growing segment of the US population, between the ages of 85 and 94. We have engaged thought leaders, Perkins Eastman, the global architecture firm, to explore the senior living market through fresh eyes and to help us position our communities for the future. They bring to this process insights gained through their Clean Slate Project, a year-long effort to explore and re-imagine senior living by consideration of and collaboration with other industries including healthcare, hospitality and retail to inspire innovations in senior living.
They point to technology as the number one trend that will help seniors live independently and longer in their own homes. Artificial Intelligence, robotics, and virtual reality are posed to change how older adults engage with the world and how the rest of the world engages with them. Already, the use of technology to connect us via video conferencing has won over grandparents worldwide as they stay in touch with grandchildren on Facebook and Facetime. Five years ago, many people moved into senior living complexes without fully understanding technology at all. People moving in today not only understand technology, they thrive on it. But will technology replace living in communal environments?
