Waterford Estates Retirement Community<br />
Back in September, Waterford<br />
Estates Retirement Community<br />
hosted a special Spaghetti<br />
Dinner Fundraiser for<br />
an extra special cause: the Alzheimer’s<br />
Association.<br />
This wonderful evening included<br />
a delicious spaghetti<br />
dinner prepared by their very<br />
own expert chefs, as well as a<br />
raffle and activities for children<br />
which included face painting<br />
and crafts.<br />
The success of this event is<br />
attributed to the hardworking<br />
staff at Waterford Estates<br />
and proceeds from this event<br />
totaled over $4,700. All of<br />
which were donated to the Alzheimer’s<br />
Association, which<br />
“advances research to end Alzheimer’s<br />
and dementia while<br />
enhancing care for those living<br />
continues fight against Alzheimer’s<br />
with the disease.” According to<br />
Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s<br />
disease is the sixth<br />
leading cause of death in the<br />
US, affecting 1 in 3 seniors.<br />
Alzheimer’s and dementia are<br />
a concern facing many seniors<br />
today, and Waterford Estates<br />
is committed to doing everything<br />
they can to support this<br />
worthy cause. Later this year,<br />
the Waterford Estates team will<br />
participate in the Walk To End<br />
Alzheimer’s.<br />
Waterford Estates Community<br />
Relations Director Cara<br />
Schnayer has an additional<br />
personal motivation for raising<br />
money for Alzheimer’s disease.<br />
“My dad, Fred – such a great<br />
guy – was the youngest of 13<br />
children born during the Depression,”<br />
Schnayer said. “He<br />
accomplished amazing things<br />
in his life, and we lost him to<br />
vascular dementia.<br />
“As I think back on it, he was<br />
gone long before he ever physically<br />
left this world. I hope<br />
one day that there are medical<br />
miracles for Alzheimer’s, vascular<br />
dementia and all forms of<br />
memory loss. Somehow fundraising<br />
for this cause feels like<br />
fighting back!”<br />
The Waterford Estates team<br />
understands everything that is<br />
involved in caring for senior<br />
adults and they are here to help<br />
you navigate the decisions required<br />
to provide the best care<br />
for you or your loved one.<br />
