Online, October 28, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Vintage Senior Living announced today that its family of retirement communities is playing an active role in the Alzheimer's Association's "Walk To End Alzheimer's" taking place September through November. Besides being an official sponsor of the walks in Orange County, Los Angeles, Monterey/Salinas, Tacoma and the San Francisco / Bay Area, Vintage Senior Living's staff and residents, as well as friends and family members have set a goal to raise $10,000 from their own creative fundraisers from casino nights to brunches.

"We are proud to stand with the Alzheimer's Association, which diligently serves our communities," said Deanna Cason, Vice President, Vintage Senior Living.
