River Garden Senior Services - River Garden Hebrew Home For The Aged

We appreciate Alex Silverstein (pictured, right) for his time today, teaching our staff about de-escalation techniques. Three big takeaways: 1) Be calm; 2) Be patient; and 3) Remember your safety is a top priority.

Save the date for the 32nd River Garden Foundation Gala - A Mosaic Masterpiece - taking place November 16, 2024. We will celebrate the rich mosaic of moments, connections, history and people that make River Garden a special Home. We hope you will join us, as we also honor Evan Yegelwel for his outstanding leadership as founding president of the Foundation and its inaugural Gala.

Mother’s Day is a special occasion that provides an excellent opportunity for us to honor and celebrate all women, a time to recognize their role in shaping our families and communities. Thank you for nurturing, leading and inspiring us.  Enjoy the weekend!

Our leaders are sharing the traditions of Passover by cooking up some tasty matzo brei at The Coves and the Home for all to enjoy. Thank you, Nancy Davis, Bobbie Jo Mentz and our Life Enrichment team!

Tomorrow is National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD), an annual initiative celebrated on April 16th. NHDD helps people understand that advance healthcare decision-making includes much more than living wills; it is a process that should focus first on conversations, encouraging individuals to express their wishes regarding healthcare so that families, friends, providers and facilities can respect those wishes when needed. Get ready to start a conversation. It's a wonderful way to show you care.

So many generous sponsors, volunteers and friends support the mission of River Garden - caring for our fathers and mothers - and it is nice to share an amazing day on the golf course for this cause. Thank you! The date for next year is already set, so be sure to keep you eye out for sponsorship opportunities and player registrations.

The River Garden mission is grounded in the fifth commandment of honoring our fathers and mothers. Our culture values and prioritizes excellent service, and we are grateful for all of our staff who meet needs and exceed expectations every day.

Thank you to our administration and board leaders who represented River Garden at the AJAS conference in California this week. It was wonderful to connect with other not-for-profit, community-based organizations, rooted in Jewish values, that promote and support the delivery of services to an aging population. #rivergardenseniorservices #associationofjewishagingservices
