The Purple Line Project
The social fabric of a community plays a critical role in the well-being of its aging members. For individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia and their care partners, the challenges of loneliness and social isolation can be even more profound.
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.
Purple Line Project businesses receive dementia training and tips for making business practices more dementia-friendly. Participating locations are listed here so care partners can plan stress-free and enjoyable outings with their loved ones.
Offering a simplified menu, accessible bathrooms, and allowing extra time to complete transactions are simple steps that can profoundly impact a senior’s day.
Participating businesses prominently display a recognizable window sticker and QR code linking to the business directory.
Why Establish the Purple Line Project?
ComfortCare Homes has a history of community involvement and innovation in dementia care.
Nearly 7 million people in the United States live with Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to climb to 13.8 million by 2060. As the population ages, it’s more critical for communities to support their aging members, especially those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
Communities can foster inclusivity and connection by creating environments that support social interaction and engagement. ComfortCare Homes is committed to championing these efforts with the Purple Line Project.
