Dementia in New Jersey - Research and Resources
2026-07-06 08:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York)
There is a general lack of knowledge about current research on dementia, resources for individuals impacted by dementia and practical implementation strategies for creating inclusive environments beyond a clinic setting. This is why it is necessary to increase awareness about dementia as well as the available resources for those impacted by dementia. Join us to hear from: Demi Pavlakos, Manager of Programs and Services at Alzheimer’s New Jersey, Kerri Sherer, Deputy Director of the Bergen County Division of Senior Services, and Nancy Chiaravalloti, PhD, Director of Neuropsychology, Neuroscience and Traumatic Brain Injury Research at Kessler Foundation

Making Your Senior Center Hering-Friendly
2026-07-06 08:00 - 17:00
The NJ Association of Senior Centers (NJASC) invites you to a virtual event to help you make your senior center – or community space – more accessible for people with hearing loss
Hearing loss is common among older adults and often goes undiagnosed – or laughed off as part of aging. Even a slight hearing change can make it difficult for people to enjoy group activities, conversations, and community events. When spaces are designed with hearing-impaired individuals in mind, more people can fully participate in conversations, events, and social settings.
Join us to hear from Elizabeth Hill, Executive Director, Division Of The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing, New Jersey Department Of Human Services, to learn about technology, resources and training available to senior centers and their members.
We will also hear from Colette Reasonover, NJAAW Intern and Rutgers DSW candidate, on how simple modifications can have a big impact on making your space more hearing friendly.
