November 18, 2024 Press

This holiday season, Alzheimer’s Community Care has partnered with Kelly Merbler for The Senior Significance Project. Kelly Merbler is a Leadership Development Consultant, Keynote Speaker and Founder of the Kelly Merbler Company. The Kelly Merbler Company is a leadership consulting firm specializing in the development of leaders and creating strengths-based cultures for companies of all sizes.   

Launched in 2014, Kelly Merbler started The Senior Significance Project in memory of her mother’s legacy. As part of her broader mission to keep seniors as a significant part of life and give back, The Senior Significance Project brings community members together to donate gifts and spend time with Alzheimer’s patients and nursing home residents across Florida during the holiday season.    

“In 2013, I lost my mother to her battle with Dementia. I was so moved by her experience and seeing how many nursing home residents spend holidays and birthdays alone, I vowed to find a way to make an impact in seniors’ lives.  The Senior Significance Project is very near and dear to my heart because it is one way I’m able to honor my mother’s legacy and continue making a difference,” said Kelly Merbler. “They may not know who we are, but they know we’re there and that we care. Our motto for this project is just because they can’t remember doesn’t mean they should be forgotten.”  

This year, Alzheimer’s Community Care is a beneficiary of the project. On Dec. 13th, a team of volunteers will visit Alzheimer’s Community Care’s Wellington Specialized Day Center to share gifts and spend quality time with patients.   

“We could not be more thrilled to partner with Kelly Merbler again for The Senior Significance Project,” said Alzheimer’s Community Care President and CEO David Franklin. “It’s incredible to see how a small act of kindness can bring so much joy to our patients. Nothing compares to seeing our patients’ faces light up when they see the volunteers. We are so thankful for Kelly and her dedicated team this holiday season.”   

Volunteers are needed to help raise awareness, wrap gifts on Dec. 8th from 12-3 p.m. in Wellington, and/or help with gift deliveries. Interested volunteers can visit https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/7KBjGi4f18W9PNT66J1aX
