While this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s events will be different, they continue to be deeply meaningful. They continue to help raise awareness about the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. They continue to help raise funds that make a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer’s. Brookdale Senior Living Inc. continues to be one of the largest corporate supporters of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year, thousands of Brookdale associates, residents, and patients are participating in or supporting virtual walks across the country.

Haircuts = Happiness 🌻
If you’ve ever been to a salon, you might be able to relate to feeling like a new person when you walk out the door. We’re here to tell you that this feeling doesn’t change with age. Our residents are all smiles when our salon is open and let us tell you, their mindset and outlook on the day is so bright when they walk out that door.
We all need a little self-care to help us refresh and take on the day, the week, the month, the year, and you know, a pandemic.
Just LOOK at these brand new residents! Oops, I mean brand new HAIRCUTS. 💇🏻
It’s true what they say: when you look good, you feel good! Our residents can attest :)
