SunnyBrook Assisted Living showing 'Memory Loss Tapes'

The Alzheimer?s Association will present a free screening of ?Memory Loss Tapes? from 10:30 a.m. to noon April 21 at SunnyBrook Assisted Living.

?Memory Loss Tapes? is one of four documentaries in HBO?s ?The Alzheimer?s Project.? The program is open to the public, but registration is requested. Sunnybrook also will provide light refreshments for this screening.

?This screening is a 90-minute vérité documentary that captures the devastating experience of memory loss from the point of view of the person with the disease,? said Michelle Kelman, program specialist for the Alzheimer?s Association and film moderator.

Kelman said the video brings viewers into the quiet world of seven patients living with Alzheimer?s, each in an advancing state of dementia and ranging across the full spectrum of the disease. The film bears witness to what it?s like to slowly lose one?s mind to the disease.

To register or for information, contact Kelman at (319) 208-0271 or (800) 272-3900.
