Novi senior community puts spotlight on Alzheimer’s disease during the ‘Longest Day’ BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com
Rose Senior Living at Providence Park in Novi continued its long-standing tradition of remembering those who are living with Alzheimer’s disease during the summer solstice. On June 20, the facility participated in what has become known, through the Alzheimer’s Association, as Alzheimer’s Longest
Day, as it is the day with the most amount of daylight to “fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s and all other dementia,” according to act.alz. org.
