This Monday, May 31st, is Memorial Day. Although some see this weekend as the unofficial start to summer it has a much deeper meaning that we must acknowledge. Please take time to remember all the lives of the men and women who sacrificed for our freedom. We are forever grateful for your bravery and dedication to our country. Home of the free because of the brave!
We will continue to research meaningful activities for you to do at home while our state-mandated, temporary suspension continues. Your comments and suggestions for activities are always welcome. Please feel free to contact me at swirth@sageeldercare.org.
