October at Alcoeur Gardens
Here is a little peak on some things that happened during the month at Alcoeur Gardens of Brick and Toms River. This month we celebrated Barbara and Sarah's Birthdays, had a blast singing karaoke, were swooned by performers Nicky D, April, John and more, learned all about snakes, turtles, owls from our friends at Cattus Island Park, and had tons of fun and laughs at our Halloween Parties. Enjoy! #alcoeurgardenstomsriver #AlcoeurGardens #alcoeurgardensbrick #dementianjmemory

Tips For Dealing With Aggressive Behaviors in Alzheimer's

Exactly What Is Alzheimer's?
Like most American's, most don't realize that Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia and that it's a progressive, degenerative disease that causes changes in the brain tissue resulting in impaired memory, thinking and behavior.
