Legacy Care to Sponsor Virtual ‘Walk to End Alzheimer’s’ Event

Sep 1, 2020

This year's walk is everywhere

COVID-19 might have shuttered schools and activities, but it has not stopped the Walk to End Alzheimer’s virtual event on October 31, 2020. Legacy Care is a Gold sponsor and has a team of employees who also plan to participate virtually, socially-distanced. 

“It’s estimated that one out of every three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or other dementia, so it’s crucial to support the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association’s work to end this disease,” said Legacy Care’s President.

More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, according to the Alzheimer’s Association that reports these early warning signs:

  1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life – like forgetting recently learned information
  2. Challenges in planning or solving problems – such as having a hard time following a plan or working with numbers
  3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks – like driving to a familiar location
  4. Confusion with time or place – sometimes, a person forgets where they are or how they got there
