There Is Good in The World & in Our Communities
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’” – Fred Rogers
As the entire world deals with a global pandemic, the past few months have stirred fear, sadness, and a feeling of hopelessness within many people. Our industry has taken centerstage due to the fact our demographic is susceptible to COVID-19 and watching cable or local news might make one think there is very little good happening in the world.
However, our senior housing staff has risen to meet the incredible challenge of making this new normal somewhat normal for the people who call our communities home all the while keeping them as safe as possible during a crisis that seemingly changes daily.
Here is some good news we thought you would like to see and hope you are just as proud of the extraordinary work our heroes have done day-in and day-out.
