Together, the items are intended to help loved ones feel more at home and help families stay informed and involved.\u00a0Why we created the kits\u00a0For more than 35 years, our firm has worked with families whose loved ones have been seriously injured in care facilities. Through that work, we have seen how overwhelming a transition into a new care setting can feel.\u00a0The Comfort Care Kit is a small, practical way to support families during that transition. It reflects a commitment that extends beyond our legal work: helping people feel supported as they navigate difficult moments.\u00a0Walking alongside the community\u00a0Thomas P. Pettinicchi and Jeremy D\u2019Amico will join families, caregivers, and advocates at the October 17 walk as we come together in support of a future without Alzheimer\u2019s. During the Promise Garden ceremony, Tom will serve as our firm\u2019s Orange Flower Holder, while the emcee shares what participating in the walk means to our team.\u00a0Our support will continue at the firm-sponsored Refreshments Tent, where walkers can stop by for water, fresh fruit, and snacks and connect with our team.\u00a0We are proud to support the Alzheimer\u2019s Association through a day dedicated to awareness, connection, and hope. For our firm, it is an opportunity to remind families facing Alzheimer\u2019s that they have a community beside them.\u00a0Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s \u2013 Central ConnecticutSaturday, October 17, 2026\u00a0Event opens: 9:00 a.m.Rockwell Park, Bristol, Connecticut\u00a0Visit the official event page to learn more or register.\u00a0"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/damicopettinicchi.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"200 Gestures of Care: Supporting Families at the Bristol Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s","item":"https:\/\/damicopettinicchi.com\/blog\/200-gestures-of-care-supporting-families-at-the-bristol-walk-to-end-alzheimers\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
