Brightview on New Canaan Honors People Living with Alzheimer’s and Dementia; Proceeds Benefit the Alzheimer's Association

Brightview on New Canaan, a popular senior living community in Norwalk, is honoring people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia on Wednesday, September 21 from 5:30pm - 7:30pm.

Intended to coincide with National Alzheimer’s Day, the Luminaria ceremony will include speakers and a special tribute to people living with the disease and other forms of dementia.

“During the event, we’ll light the luminaria bags,” explains Vibrant Living Director Patty Pasquarella. “Each bag will be personalized with a name and story of an individual whom family or friends want to honor or remember.”

Bags are $10 and all proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, Norwalk Chapter.

Families, friends, caregivers and others are invited to recognize the people in their lives touched by the disease and related dementias.

“Because residents, families and associates are all impacted by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, the entire Brightview on New Canaan community is involved,” continues Patty. “The larger community is also welcome to participate.”

Located at 162 New Canaan Avenue, Brightview on New Canaan features Assisted Living and Wellspring Village®, a specially designed neighborhood where people living with dementia lead full, engaged and meaningful lives.
