Part of her current role is focused on cultivating new community partnerships for AFC and providing resources and education on dementia and dementia care to the community. The most requested topic she speaks on is the 10 early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and some tips to improve brain health.

AFC offers free memory checkups, which can be conducted in person at Leisure World. Tinoco will share information on the resources AFC provides and resources the community partners provide for families affected by dementia.

The AFC is an adult day health care facility providing memory care programs and caregiver support for people.
