It's never too late to get involved in a good cause and we can't think of any better cause than the Walk To End Alzheimer's, a cause that holds special meaning for so many people but especially the families of our residents and our staff.
According to alz.org, Alzheimer's disease is the number one form of dementia. Dementia is caused by various disease conditions that result in damaged brain cells or the connections between brain cells. A few of the common characteristics of Alzheimer's disease are difficulty remembering names and recent events; depression is often an early symptoms also include impaired judgment, disorientation, confusion, behavior changes and difficulty swallowing and walking.
An estimated 5.4 million people have Alzheimer's disease and affects and estimated 14.9 unpaid caregivers. Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia touches the lives of families everywhere.
Central Wisconsin Senior Living has been involved with the Alzheimer's organization walk for years. Recently the name of this annual event was changed from the Memory Walk to Walk To End Alzheimer's.
