The initiative aims to enable individuals living with dementia to remain safe and comfortable in their homes for as long as possible. By tackling essential home improvements, such as installing ramps and adding crucial safety features, this "Together in a Day" directly addresses both the physical and emotional needs of these families. The goal is to empower them to navigate the complexities of Alzheimer's and dementia with greater dignity and peace of mind, all through the collective power of a compassionate community.
The day will kick off with a private event at 8:30 a.m. at Family Hospice’s Athens office, 624 S. Milledge Ave., Suite 101, with a grab-and-go breakfast. Following breakfast, attendees will hear remarks from representatives of the Alzheimer’s Association and local community leaders.
At 9:30 a.m., volunteers from Family Hospice and local construction professionals from Lake Country Glass and Mirror, along with support from the American Red Cross and Athens-Clarke County Fire Department, will fan out across the area. Their mission: to complete all pre-selected home modifications within a single day, showcasing the extraordinary impact a united community can have.
"We are incredibly proud to partner with the Alzheimer's Association of Georgia and so many dedicated community organizations for this ‘Together in a Day’ event," said Charlie Hall, CEO of Family Hospice. "Witnessing our community come together to directly impact the safety and well-being of families facing Alzheimer's and dementia is inspiring. Every modification we make, every ramp we install, is a step toward ensuring individuals can live with dignity and support in their own homes for as long as possible."
Media are invited to attend the breakfast, hear remarks from event organizers, and accompany volunteer teams to project sites.
