"Now, where did I put those car keys?"

"I'm so sorry--I forgot it was your birthday."

"What was I saying?"

Most adults have uttered those phrases, and while most day-to-day occurrences of forgetfulness are normal, Snohomish County offers a seminar to find out about warning signs of more serious memory loss.

Snohomish County Long Term Care and Aging, in partnership with The Everett Clinic, the Alzheimer's Association and Council on Aging, has scheduled a free presentation on what is and what is not part of normal forgetfulness. The program will take place Wednesday, February 25, from 10:30 a.m. to noon at Building 2 of the Compass Health Administrative Offices, 4526 Federal Ave., Everett.

The discussion also will include information about diagnosis and next steps for those with serious concerns.

As the local agency on aging, Snohomish County Long Term Care and Aging conducts planning and educational efforts, advocates with and on behalf of older adults in the county, and administers federal, state and county funds to provide in-home and community-based services.



Registration for the free program is available by contacting Joyce Frasu at (425) 388-7377 or by e-mailing j.frasu@snoco.org.
