DALLAS, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital Senior
Living Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: CSU), one of the nation's
largest operators of senior living communities, announces its Chief
Executive Officer, Larry Cohen, has
been named the National Honoree for the 2018 Alzheimer's
Association Brain Ball for his support of the fight against
Alzheimer's and dedication to creating an environment for seniors
to thrive.
In celebration of the honor, Cohen will ring the Closing Bell at
the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday,
May 2, before being recognized during the Association's
annual fundraising gala in the Nation's Capital intended to raise
awareness of the disease and its devastating toll on families and
caregivers.
"I am thrilled to accept this honor and dedicate it to our
wonderful caregivers whose hard work, commitment and compassion,
bring joy and comfort to our residents and their families," said
Cohen. "What better way to celebrate our staff than to raise funds
and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association, whose research,
education and advocacy is so critical in slowing and hopefully,
eradicating this awful disease."
Capital Senior Living serves approximately 16,500 residents,
many suffering with Alzheimer's or the early-stages of the disease.
The Company's caregivers and supporting staff provide care for
these residents in its communities across the country and offer a
continuum of care for those in which the disease progresses.
"Larry passionately leads this company in its
mission to improve the daily lives of seniors and that includes
those affected by Alzheimer's and their families," said
Carey Hendrickson, Chief Financial
Officer of Capital Senior Living and Brain Ball Co-Chair. "It is my
honor not only to present this award to him,
but also to work alongside him every day as he
leads our quest to enrich the lives of seniors."
The Brain Ball takes place May 4,
2018 at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. Since its inception in 2014,
the Brain Ball has raised more than $7.5
