The Charities we Support
The Alzheimer's Association
Formed in 1980, the Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support, and research. It is their vision to achieve a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. The Walk to End Alzheimer’s raises funds for research and services related to Alzheimer’s disease. In addition to research for a cure, funds raised go towards care, support, awareness, and advocacy of Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers. Alzheimer’s effects around 1,000 people in the District’s combined service area. Some of those individuals reside in our own MNRC nursing home.
The Memorial Hospice Patient Care Account
Memorial Hospice makes it a practice to accept all who seek end of life Hospice services from their organization and the Patient Care Account helps them achieve that. Regardless of an individuals ability to pay, Memorial Hospice will accept and care for them in their last days. Memorial Hospice cares for the terminally ill by focusing on what is most important for the patient and their families. Both are provided skilled nursing care, social worker care, spiritual care, and emotional support in their own home by staff and volunteers.
