​Brucelea Haven residents, families, staff raise almost $1,100 in Walk For Alzheimer’s

Twenty-two residents and 25 family and team members supported each other, Wednesday, at the Brucelea Haven Long-Term Care home’s first Walk for Alzheimer’s in support of the Alzheimer Society of Grey-Bruce.

The Brucelea Haven residents’ council proudly created a donation page through the Walk for Alzheimer’s website and was able to surpass its fund-raising goal of $500, raising $1,060 and counting.

“The Alzheimer Society supports wonderful community programs and services that assist individuals and families touched by dementia in many different ways, including caregiver support groups,” said Megan Garland, director of long-term care and senior services at Brucelea Haven in Walkerton.

“Our residents thoroughly enjoyed the walk and were thrilled to give back to their community. Together, we make a difference!”

A special thank you to Brucelea Haven family members and team members who not only donated to this cause, but also took time out of their day to support their loved ones in participating in this event.
