WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?

LIAD is a resource for families dealing with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Located in Westbury and accessible from most highways. Our hands-on programs and services are not only for the diagnosed individuals but for the caregivers. We want to make sure that anyone that needs help in navigating this journey can come to our professionals for help and support. 

EPISODE SUMMARY:

About Tori: Tori has been the Executive Director of the Long Island Alzheimer’s and Dementia (LIAD) Center since 2015; however, her history with the organization goes back to 2003, when she began as a Social Worker with the organization then called the Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation (LIAF).

It is under Tori’s leadership that LIAF became the LIAD Center, representing the organization’s continuing evolution to meet the changing needs of the ever-increasing population of those on Long Island who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Tori is a zealous advocate for LIAD Center, pushing the organization to step to the forefront of community and professional education about cognitive impairment.

About LIAD Center: We are passionate about what we do — it’s in our roots. Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center was originally founded by five Long Island women in 1988. Our founders are like millions of other Americans impacted by Alzheimer’s — they had a parent or grandparent with Alzheimer’s disease and shared the frustration of not knowing where to turn for much-needed help. 

Out of this dire need, our founders decided to be their own solution, and the Long Island Alzheimer's and Dementia Center was started. Today, we’ve spent 30 years providing supportive community-based services to Alzheimer’s families in Long Island.
