We are pleased to announce that the Alzheimer Society Peel has received a $20,000 donation from the Verve Senior Living in support of the Society\u2019s Day Programs.<\/p>\n
This donation was made possible by Verve Senior Living\u2019s 40th<\/sup> Anniversary Challenge. In celebration of their anniversary, the retirement communities were tasked with creating small events in support of their local Alzheimer Society chapter. In support of this initiative, Verve Senior Living\u2019s head office located in Mississauga pledged an additional donation to directly support the community and support services currently utilized by the senior populations where they are located.<\/p>\n CEO of the Alzheimer Society Peel, Christopher Rawn-Kane, shared that \u201cwithout the support of our community partners, like Verve Senior Living, and their dedicated teams we would not be able to do what we do. We thank Verve Senior Living and their retirement communities for their generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n The generous donation will be directed towards the day programs and respite home at Alzheimer Society Peel to aid in furthering the exceptional programming offered to clients.<\/p>\n The Alzheimer Society Peel serves the Region of Peel through our offices in Brampton and Mississauga.\u00a0 Our Chapter promotes public and professional awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and offers a variety of programs and services. Alzheimer Society Peel works with all service providers to ensure that optimum health and social services are provided for the family and persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in the Region of Peel. Alzheimer Society Peel\u2019s presence in the community since its inception has had a tremendous impact on individuals whose lives are affected by the disease. In our last Fiscal Year, 2016-2017, the chapter served over 42,000 individuals. Alzheimer Society Peel is the largest chapter in Canada and the first to become accredited for its services and programs by CARF International.<\/p>\n
