Last Saturday’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s was an uplifting and powerful experience for our whole family. It was a gorgeous day out at Liberty Station for the many people who participated. It was touching to see the groups and families coming together in support of or in memory of someone they love who was affected by the disease.
There was a sea of people carrying pin wheel flowers in different colors.
• The BLUE flower represents walkers who have have Alzheimer’s or dementia.
• The ORANGE flower represents walkers who want to see a world without Alzheimer’s or dementia.
• The PURPLE flower represents walkers who have lost a loved one to Alzheimer’s or dementia.
• The YELLOW flower represents walkers who are currently caring for or supporting someone with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
If you haven’t already participated in this event, we really encourage you to find the next one in your area to walk, volunteer or donate to.
Pam and I will continue to make this event an annual family affair.
In 1999, Aaron was named Residential Program Manager of a group home for disabled adults in Arlington, Virgina. Here, he built a reputation for being compassionate with his clients and efficient in company operations. In the years that followed, Washington DC’s human services field went through unprecedented reform when the city was fined $11 million for the previously unchecked abuse, neglect, and exploitation of the very population it was supposed to protect. In 2005, Aaron was selected by a watchdog company to co-create and implement a monitoring system to safeguard and advocate for the system’s most vulnerable residents. This system is still in use today.
Aaron is now using his unique gifts and profound experience in the human service field to provide San Diego County Seniors with dependable, compassionate caregivers through Aaron Home Care.
He currently serves on the board of the San Diego Regional Home Care Council and is an active member of the Senior Advocate Network of San Diego.
Aaron Home Care is a member of the American Board of Home Care and is accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
