At Ebenezer Senior Living, we see firsthand how Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia impact the lives of our residents and their families every day. That’s why we proudly participate in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s in the Twin Cities each year. This event is more than just a walk; it’s a movement to fight the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death and the only disease in the top 10 without a way to prevent, cure, or even slow its progression.
Supporting Critical Research and Care
The funds raised through the Walk to End Alzheimer’s directly support the Alzheimer's Association's vital work, including funding for research, care, support, and advocacy efforts. These contributions help advance critical research to find new treatments, improve care, and ultimately find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. Research funded by the Alzheimer's Association has led to groundbreaking discoveries in understanding the causes of Alzheimer's, the development of new treatment approaches, and the potential for early diagnosis.
Witnessing the Impact of Alzheimer's Every Day
At Ebenezer, we are reminded daily of the impact Alzheimer’s has on the individuals we care for and their loved ones. Through our exclusive Dimensions® memory care program, we are dedicated to ensuring that our residents with dementia receive exceptional, compassionate care that meets them exactly where they are in their journey. We recognize that while we cannot change the diagnosis, we can change the experience for both our residents and their families.
How Our Dimensions® Program Makes a Difference
Our Dimensions® program is designed to offer a holistic approach to memory care, focusing on evidence-based practices that make a real difference in the lives of our residents:
Wellness: We provide person-centered, relationship-based care with an emphasis on hydration and nutrition to ensure comfort and well-being for all dementia patients.
Training: We deliver innovative, ongoing, hands-on education to our staff to ensure they are equipped with the tools and knowledge to care for our residents with compassion and creativity.
Engagement: We foster purposeful, pleasurable, and creative interactions and activities to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
Environment: We create calm, supportive environments that seek psychosocial solutions to promote comfort and reduce anxiety.
Education and Support: We provide education and support to families and care partners, recognizing that they play a crucial role in the well-being of our residents.
Our dedicated Dimensions Coordinator oversees this multi-faceted program, ensuring it remains dynamic, evidence-based, and focused on making a dramatic difference in the lives of those we serve.
Walking Together for a Common Cause
Participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s allows Ebenezer Senior Living to stand with countless others in the Twin Cities community who are affected by this devastating disease. It is an opportunity for our staff, residents, families, and friends to come together, share stories, support one another, and raise much-needed funds for a cause that touches all of us. We walk because we know how deeply Alzheimer’s affects the people we care for, and we are committed to being part of the solution.
