Championing Alzheimer’s Awareness
In an inspiring initiative, Assisted Living Locators, a prominent nationwide senior placement service, is stepping up for Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month this June. This year, they proudly celebrate their fourth annual campaign, emphasizing their commitment to supporting individuals impacted by Alzheimer’s disease.
Engaging Franchisees Nationwide
The network of 150 franchisees across the country is actively participating in this meaningful cause by pledging to wear purple and coming together as a united Walk to End Alzheimer’s National Team. Their collective goal is to raise essential funds that will advocate against the ravages of Alzheimer’s, bringing much-needed resources for those battling this condition.
Significance of Purple
The Alzheimer’s Association has chosen purple as a symbol of awareness for the disease. Throughout June, the organization encourages everyone to “Go Purple with a Purpose.” Fundraising campaigns are focused on the longest day of the year, aiming to illuminate the struggles of the estimated 5.7 million Americans who live with Alzheimer’s, alongside the more than 16 million caregivers who provide unwavering support.
Community Involvement
Felicia Sanders, Brand Leader and President of Assisted Living Locators, expressed her pride in the franchisees' involvement: “They are deeply committed to supporting Alzheimer’s care and research. We’re rallying individuals in our communities to join us during local Walk days to raise significant funds.” Sanders noted that their role as senior care advisors allows them to provide meaningful services and education to caregivers, directly affecting their communities.
Innovation in Alzheimer's Care
Assisted Living Locators stands out for being the first nationwide service to achieve a system-wide dementia care certification. This certification allows them to assist families in locating personalized assisted living and memory care options at no cost, emphasizing their commitment to positively impacting the lives of those affected by Alzheimer’s.
The Power of Purple Campaign
During the month dedicated to Alzheimer’s awareness, the company will showcase the power of purple on multiple platforms. Their corporate website and franchisees' social media profiles will adopt a purple logo, fostering a sense of solidarity for all those affected by Alzheimer’s and various forms of dementia. Franchisees will don purple apparel, sharing their engagement through photos on social media while also participating in fundraising events and educational campaigns related to dementia care.
