Empowering Families Through Knowledge, Support and Action
At Lutheran Home in Arlington Heights, we’re proud to be a trusted hub for Alzheimer’s education, dementia support and family caregiving resources. For more than 130 years, we’ve walked hand-in-hand with individuals navigating the journey of memory loss, offering compassionate care and tools.
One of our favorite ways to do that is through free educational events, open to anyone seeking expert guidance at no cost. We are a steadfast partner of the Alzheimer’s Association, a national organization with local chapters dedicated to raising awareness, funds and resources for those with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Our friends at the Alzheimer’s Association are our co-hosts for educational events hosted here on our Arlington Heights campus—providing the latest scientific research, advice and low-cost tools.
Join us for Alzheimer’s events this summer:
