Why We Exist > Our Values
We exist to help bring thoughtfulness, authenticity, and joy to the Alzheimer’s journey.
We build everything we do from these core values:
We listen. We care. We cherish each moment, and we pay attention to details.
We are who we are, no matter when, no matter where.
We cherish relationships and quality time spent together.
We keep asking questions, and we want to learn something every day. We are amazed at the possibility in each moment.
We love to laugh. Laughter connects. Laughter refreshes. Laughter keeps things in perspective. Laughter just tickles us.
We believe everything will be OK, even when it doesn’t feel that way. We celebrate moments where joy spills over into smiles, laughter, and a feeling of wanting to sing and dance.
