Why We Walk: Emeritus Senior Living is passionately committed to enriching the lives of seniors and their families. One way we do this is to help the Alzheimer's Association with their mission of building awareness and conducting research to help families and their loved ones better deal with the disease and, hopefully, to find a cure.

That is why Emeritus is pleased to once again have the privilege of being a Platinum National team for this year's Walk to End Alzheimer's. Employees from all of our communities throughout the country will be taking to the streets to join the cause. As the largest operator of communities specializing in care for those with Alzheimer's and related dementias, we witness the heart-rending effects of this disease on a regular basis and are passionate about supporting this important cause.

If you'd like to get involved in the cause to enrich the lives of millions of seniors nationwide, please consider joining an Emeritus 2013 Walk team or take part in one of the many enjoyable fundraisers we host at an Emeritus community near you. Together, we can help the Alzheimer's Association as they continue to work to find a cure and provide valuable support services to this growing population.
