Alzheimer’s Campus Walk is October 13
Did you know that currently 6 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer’s Disease? Experts estimate this number will climb to as many as 16 million by 2050.
Edenton is doing it’s part in the fight against this disease. Our campus Alzheimer’s Walk will be held on Monday, October 13 at 3 p.m.
Our walk steps off from the breezeway next to the restaurant.
Please consider making a donation to Team Edenton Frederick to help in the fight against this terrible disease. Donations will also be accepted on the day of the walk. Thank you!
Please plan to join us the afternoon of October 13 as we stroll around our beautiful campus to support those living with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Resident Spotlight
This month’s spotlight shines on one of our Blossom Place residents, Joan Fox. Joan was born

We are so glad Joan is a part of our community
Our Sincere Condolences
