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.

Care. Support. Positive Outcomes. Centers Health Care.
Centers Health Care provides rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care for people with a wide range of needs. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, managing an illness or simply needs more support than can be provided at home, our staff is there to help.
The goal is not exactly the same for everyone. It may be returning home, becoming stronger, staying independent or simply feeling better and more comfortable from one day to the next. There will be progress, setbacks and difficult days along the way. Our job is to be there through all of it, and to help each patient or resident get as far as he or she can.
Sometimes that progress comes in large steps. More often, it comes in small ones. Either way, every step matters.
Our Steps to Home series follows patients through rehabilitation and the journey from hospital to home:
