ST. LOUIS, MO, NOVEMBER 25, 2025 — After a strong year of partnership in 2024, St. Louis–based Cedarhurst Senior Living® deepened its commitment to the fight against Alzheimer’s disease in 2025—joining the Alzheimer’s Association as a National Team for the first time in company history.
All Cedarhurst Senior Living and Cedar Creek® communities, along with the home office, united across Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Kansas, Nebraska, and Georgia to participate in 35 Walk to End Alzheimer’s events, raising nearly $83,000 and contributing another $80,000 in sponsorships—a combined $160,000+ investment in Alzheimer’s research, education, and family resources. Cedarhurst ranked 35th among National Teams nationwide in its debut year.
“Each of our communities took pride in representing Cedarhurst on walk day,” said Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living.
“Becoming a National Team with the Alzheimer’s Association marks a major milestone in our mission to support those living with Alzheimer’s, including so many of our residents and their families. This partnership isn’t just about fundraising—it’s about standing together for hope, progress, and compassion. I couldn’t be prouder of our teams and the impact they’ve made in our first year as a National Team, and I look forward to building on this momentum in 2026.”
— Almir Sajtovic, President of Cedarhurst Senior Living
