FROM THE Alzheimer's Association Illinois Chapter TODAY!

Urge Congress to allow coverage for Alzheimer's blood tests
Researchers have developed blood tests that can detect Alzheimer's before symptoms appear โ€” but Medicare can't cover these tests until Congress allows it. Tell Congress to support the bipartisan ASAP Act, which clears this roadblock and accelerates access to dementia screening.

Please help spread the word!

๐Ÿโค๏ธ Ball Toss = Exercise + FUN! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ

Our residents LOVE ball toss so much that weโ€™ve officially made it a weekly exercise activity! ๐ŸŽ‰

Itโ€™s so much fun watching everyone get into the gameโ€”and seeing the competitive nature come out in some of our residents! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ† Thereโ€™s always plenty of laughter, encouragement, and a little friendly competition!

Ball toss is also a fantastic way to work on reflexes, hand-eye coordination, focus, movement, and reaction time while having a whole lot of fun. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Who says exercise has to feel like exercise?! ๐Ÿ˜

Weโ€™ll take fun, laughter, and healthy movement any day of the week! โค๏ธ
