Ten lucky attendees will receive a complimentary signed book of their choice!
The Kensington Sierra Madre is thrilled to partner once again with AlzAuthors to bring you a thoughtfully curated Book Club Meet & Greet created with the caregiver in mind this summer. Beyond knowledge, entertainment and a great escape from the demands of the day, books have a number of benefits that can make life better. They have the power to heal, inform and inspire. They can also provide comfort, encourage reflection, reduce stress, and support you during your caregiving journey.
Join us on-site for an inspirational roundtable book discussion with three compassionate authors: Sherri Snelling, Gerontologist & Author of Me Time Monday; Tsgoyna Tanzman, Speech Language Pathologist & Author of Hope After Stroke; and Cindy Weinstein, Professor & Author of Finding the Right Words. Listen in as they guide you through selected excerpts from their featured works, and get the chance to ask your top caregiver questions in a welcoming, intimate setting. Learn from their wide-ranging wisdom and experience and connect with other family caregivers who are on similar journeys!
While you’re here, enjoy a delicious summer spread of sweet and savory hors d’oeuvres made with love by our Executive Chef Dusko.
