Clarence Estate staff join the race against dementia

Staff at Clarence Estate laced up their sneakers on September 20 to take part in the 2015 Alzheimer’s Australia Albany Memory Walk and Jog. A team of more than 15 staff members, residents and their family members headed Middleton Beach for the event.

Hall & Prior’s dedicated staff care for more than 1200 residents across Western Australia. They get a first-hand view of how dementia affects not only those with the condition, but their families as well. By taking part in the Memory Walk and Jog, staff at Clarence Estate want to continue to raise awareness of the work Alzheimer’s Australia does to assist people nationwide.

Clarence Estate Executive Director of Care Kristi Holloway said she enjoyed taking part in the walk and helping to raise both funds and awareness. “This is a cause that is close to all of our hearts because our residents are close to our hearts,” she said.

Chief Executive Officer Graeme Prior is a proud supporter of the campaign and its efforts to help those living with dementia. “Dementia is something that affects so many of our residents,” he said. “Our team at Clarence Estate work extremely hard to improve the lives of the people who live in our homes each and every day and the Memory Walk is just another aspect of that.”

Hall & Prior was a proud sponsor of the 2015 Alzheimer’s Australia Albany Memory Walk and Jog.
