Purple Month: Alzheimer’s Awareness

The staff at Rochester Center on Beahan Road have been dressed in purple throughout September for World Alzheimer’s Month to keep in mind family, friends, co-workers, and residents who have been afflicted with the sad disease. On World Alzheimer’s Awareness Day, September 21, Rochester Center residents, staff, as well as family members received purple bracelets to proudly wear. An estimated 6.7 million Americans age 65 and older will be living with the disease in 2023, as well as 50 million around the world.
