Alzheimer’s Disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S. and to raise awareness of the disease as well as to help find ways to prevent the disease and help those suffering from it, November has been named as National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month.
If you know someone living with Alzheimer’s, you’re aware of the disease and how it can impact the lives of people who are living with it as well as people who care for them. The month of November is dedicated to think of those people, to raise awareness of the disease and focus on finding ways to prevent the disease in the first place. Brookdale, a company that is the leading owner and operator of senior living solutions in the United States, has been committed to supporting research of the disease for years already and this year isn’t any different.
“Throughout the year, Brookdale associates, residents and their families participate in fundraising efforts to support the Walk to End Alzheimer’s program through the Alzheimer’s Association, an organization with the mission of eliminating Alzheimer’s, advancing research, and enhancing care and support for those affected by this devastating disease,” said Sara Terry from Brookdale.
