Experience To Research Women’s Brains

Named one of the fastest growing women-owned companies, Home Care Assistance will join first-of-its-kind experience to support cutting edge research on women and Alzheimer’s.

April 22, 2016 // Franchising.com // Palo Alto, CA - Today, Maria Shriver’s A Woman’s Nation partnered with Home Care Assistance, the leading provider of in-home care for seniors across the United States, Canada and Australia, as the exclusive caregiving partner for the MOVE FOR MINDS™ experience on Saturday, May 21. This groundbreaking event takes place at Equinox Sports Clubs in New York, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco, Boston and Washington, D.C.  Participants will engage their brains and bodies in physical fitness challenges including Equinox’s “The Cut” boxing class, yoga and guided meditation, then explore a first-of-its-kind marketplace where they will meet and hear from the superstars of brain research, fitness, food, nutrition, stress/sleep and caregiving. MOVE FOR MINDS is an unprecedented gathering of empowered women, men and leading experts who believe funding women’s brain research will help us solve the Alzheimer’s epidemic and answer the question: Why are so many people getting Alzheimer’s and why are the majority of them women? Representatives from Home Care Assistance will be present at all locations offering expert advice and support for those affected by Alzheimer’s. The organization was named one of the 50 fastest growing women-owned companies worldwide by the Women Presidents’ Organization (WPO), in partnership with American Express.
