Shake, Rattle and Stroll - Parkinson Association
Our Home Instead office is proud to have sponsored the Parkinson Association of the Rockies annual fund raiser – 'Shake Rattle and Stroll' on Sunday, June 20, 2010.  The event is held annually on Father's Day.  Hundreds of participants joined us to make a difference step by step.
 
Since 2002, the event has raised significant funds and awareness for the disease while honoring those whose lives have been touched by Parkinson's disease.   For more information about either "Shake Rattle and Stroll" or the Parkinson Association of the Rockies, please visit the Parkinson Association website.

Operation Medicine Cabinet

 The medicine cabinet in the home of a senior may be the most dangerous place in America.  Unused and expired prescription drugs accumulate as the medical needs of seniors change.  As a result, old and expired prescriptions can pose a continuing health hazard to seniors and other family members.

 Home Instead Senior Care’s Operation Medicine Cabinet is a program designed to educate and inform the community on the obvious hazards of expired medications and create a venue for encouraging the proper disposal of these medications through collection drives.

Alzheimer's Memory Walk

The Memory Walk is a fun and inspiring event that helps the Alzheimer’s Association fulfill its mission. It’s a wonderful chance to pay tribute to those who have been touched by Alzheimer’s. Most importantly it’s an opportunity to help ensure that no one else faces Alzheimer’s disease alone.

Home Instead Senior Care has been a proud supporter of the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk for 8 consecutive years.

On Saturday, September 19, 2010 we walked, unaffected by the drizzling rain, as a united team to raise awareness, funds, and to improve the lives of those we love and care for living with this horrible disease. 

 

Santa to a Senior

Be a Santa to a Senior is an annual holiday gift program developed and sponsored by HISC as a way to brighten the lives of financially challenged and isolated seniors during the holiday season.

Home Instead partners with local non-profit and community organizations to identify seniors who might not otherwise receive gifts. We then work with local businesses, retail stores, and volunteers to help facilitate the purchase and distribution of gifts. The program begins in late fall.

To be a Santa to a Senior, all you have to do is help! Call the office for more details!  303.389.5700
