Update on Programs &
Monthly Calendars
We would like to assure everyone that during these uncertain times, the safety of our family and friends continues to be a priority. We will continue to postpone all programs and gatherings until it is safe to return to our normal monthly calendar. With that being said, we want to let you know that we would like to start introducing some small group gatherings as the weather allows and as CDC recommendations and guidelines allow.

We also stress.......
If there is ANYTHING anyone needs during this time, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We are still available for consultations and we remain only a phone call away!

We would love to hear from you!

POSTCARDS ACROSS AMERICA
The latest project from Bethany Village Senior Living located in Pennsylvania is in need of YOUR help! This project was created to help lift the spirits of the residents living in the facility who, like so many others have experienced this past year, could not have in-person visitors. So they started collecting postcards from all across the United States! Let's put Maine on their map :)
