Meighen Health Centre Staff Wear Purple for Alzheimer’s Awareness Day

On World Alzheimer’s Day, the compassionate team at Meighen Health Centre stood united in solidarity and support for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Staff members proudly donned purple attire, the global color of Alzheimer’s awareness, to honor those living with the condition, remember those we’ve lost, and show unwavering support for ongoing research and care.
From nurses to caregivers, administrators to support staff — every corner of our community was lit with purple pride. This vibrant visual statement not only highlighted our commitment to dementia care but also helped ignite important conversations about brain health, memory, and the power of empathy.
“Wearing purple is a small gesture, but the message behind it is powerful,” said one team member. “It shows our residents and their families that they are not alone — we’re walking this journey with them.”
At Meighen Health Centre, every day is dedicated to person-centered care, but on this special day, we paused to amplify the voices of those living with Alzheimer’s. We reaffirm our mission to create a world that is more compassionate, understanding, and inclusive for those with cognitive challenges.
Together, we remember. Together, we care.
