Prairie Meadows Alzheimer’s Special Care Center (prairiemeadowsseniorliving.com) is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this August, and they want you to help celebrate! More information is coming soon, but the celebration is set for August 10, from 5 to 7 p.m.

If you can’t wait until August, Prairie Meadows is doing something different this year than their Silent Auction to raise support for The Alzheimer’s Association! They invite you to their first ever Carnival on Friday, June 9, from 3-7p.m.

Enjoy all of the fun a carnival has to offer with free hotdogs, games, popcorn and more. Tickets will be sold at the gate for free will donation. Raffle tickets will be sold during the event as well.

Worldwide, 55 million people are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. The Alzheimer’s Association leads the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection and maximizing quality care and support.

Prairie Meadows is a homelike memory-care facility with 66 beds in four types of apartment-style housing – private deluxe, private, semiprivate (just shared bathroom) and companion rooms – and a nurse at the community around the clock. They use a “Spark resident-led” program to help get to know residents by learning their life stories and finding out their preferences, likes, dislikes and cherished memories. Prairie Meadows then incorporates that information into their everyday care. For more information, visit prairiemeadowsseniorliving.com or call (402) 391-2790.
