Purple Line Project featured on KSN's Good Day Kansas

Micala Gingrich-Gaylord, president and CEO at ComfortCare Homes, recently appeared on KSN's Good Day Kansas as they featured the Purple Line Project.

Through the Purple Line Project, ComfortCare Homes is helping Wichita’s businesses be more welcoming and accessible to individuals living with dementia and their care partners. 

Businesses receive dementia training and tips for making their business practices more dementia-friendly. Participating locations are listed on the ComfortCare Homes website so care partners can plan stress-free and enjoyable outings with their loved ones.

Participating businesses also display a recognizable window sticker and a QR code that links to the business directory.

ComfortCare Homes has a long tradition of community involvement and innovation in dementia care. They were the first to pioneer the home-plus care model for dementia care in Kansas and were instrumental in establishing the statewide licensing guidelines.

Nearly 7 million people in the U.S. live with Alzheimer's disease, and that number is expected to climb to 13.8 million by 2060. As more people live with dementia, it is critical for communities to support those living with memory loss.
