Alzheimer’s Tree of Reflection Dedication Ceremony
December 11, 2011
The Alzheimer's/Dementia Connection of Havasu held its annual "Tree of Reflection Dedication Ceremony" Sunday evening. Lake View Terrace Memory Care Community and its management company, Frontier Management CEO, Greg Roderick received awards. They were honored for their "contribution to the continuing support and education of the families and residents involved with Alzheimer's disease and dementia."
Lake View Terrace Memory Care Executive Director DeAndra Wooldridge accepted the award on behalf of Lake View Terrace. June Sulffridge, Regional Vice President for Frontier Management, accepted Mr. Roderick's award on his behalf.
Shauna Shockley, Marketing Director for Lake View Terrace, is a member of the Board of Directors for the Alzheimer's/Dementia Connection of Havasu.
The ceremony was very moving. The key speaker was the wife of a resident at Lake View Terrace. Her speech was based on the "love story" she and her husband have had all these years and that still continues even though he is fading. She stressed how important it is to stay involved with loved ones: "Don't leave them before they leave you."
