Promoting Awareness During World Alzheimer’s Month 2025

Each September, World Alzheimer’s Month unites communities worldwide in a powerful campaign to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s disease, reduce stigma, and advocate for better support for those living with dementia. At The Mayflower in Winter Park, we proudly join this movement, reaffirming our commitment to lifelong learning, wellness, and memory support.

The 2025 campaign theme, “Brain Health for All,” invites individuals, families, and organizations to take proactive steps toward brain wellness. As a Life Plan Community focused on whole-person living, The Mayflower integrates brain-healthy lifestyle options and compassionate care into everyday life, offering residents both security and enrichment at every stage of aging.

Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent form of dementia, affecting over 55 million people around the world. This progressive condition gradually impairs memory, reasoning, and independence, often placing emotional and physical strain on families and caregivers.

While there is currently no cure, early diagnosis, strong support networks, and lifestyle interventions can significantly improve quality of life. The Mayflower’s healthcare and memory support services are designed to provide personalized, dignified care that meets each resident’s unique needs.

How You Can Support World Alzheimer’s Month 2025

Whether you’re a resident, loved one, or community member, there are many ways to get involved this September:

• Educate and Advocate - Share facts and stories about Alzheimer’s disease on social media, blogs, or community forums. Use the hashtag #WorldAlzheimersMonth to amplify awareness.
• Join or Host Events - Participate in local walks, educational seminars, or fundraising initiatives that support Alzheimer’s research and caregiver support services.
• Commit to Brain Health - Embrace habits that benefit cognitive function, including balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, social interaction, and mental stimulation—all pillars of daily life at The Mayflower.
• Support Caregivers and Families - Offer encouragement or practical help to those caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s. Small acts of support can make a meaningful impact.
• Advocate for Better Policy - Encourage local and national leaders to invest in Alzheimer’s research, caregiver support programs, and public health initiatives.
