 Participants are encouraged to wear purple as part of the nationwide
awareness day. Purple balloons will be released at 10:30 a.m. in
front of the memory care unit at The Christian Village, on Postville
Drive. Afterward, walking tacos will be sold to raise funds for
research to end Alzheimer's.
The memory care unit provides a safe, comfortable haven for
residents who have Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. They're
treated with compassion and respect in a structured environment that
meets their needs.
The staff enriches the residents' lives by helping them maintain
their lifestyles and abilities. Staff members work closely with the
residents' families to uncover special interests and hobbies that
can be incorporated into the daily activities.
The Christian Village is among the 14 senior living communities
of Christian Homes, the second-largest not-for-profit long-term
health care provider in the U.S., with campuses in Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
