Description:
The Local Office on Aging (LOA) presents the play "Tangles" as part of the two-day LOA Caregiver Conference aimed at caregivers and the families of loved ones who suffer from the intellectual disabilities of Alzheimer’s and Hoarding starting on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at the Holiday Inn Valley View in Roanoke, VA.

The LOA is thrilled to host the play "Tangles", performed by the New Theater of Medicine based in Washington, D.C. Tangles, an innovative musical play formed through the collaboration of health professionals and theater artists, tells the story of a family over the course of one pivotal night with a family member experiencing cognitive impairment. This entertaining theater production explores aging, family, and the challenges faced by both patients and healthcare professionals.

Based on medical research, patient narratives and the experience of healthcare professionals, the production is a unique and rich opportunity for health professionals, families, caregivers, and community members to identify the challenges associated with caring for families and their loved ones in context of the healthcare system.

The performance will be followed by an interactive dialogue with healthcare experts on neurocognitive disorders.

The cost to attend only the play is $25.00 per person. To attend the full two-day conference is $40.00.
