Compassion with caution: helping loved ones who may need more care.

When a loved one’s well-being could be at stake, the need for care and safety can outweigh the universal desire for independence – and prompt decisions that acknowledge reality and respect a loved one’s wishes. Decision begins with discussion.

Read more in our Fall Newsletter about sitting down together and giving shape to often unspoken concerns between loved ones.

Your part in our mission is vital as we continue to pursue the Green House vision for our nursing home in Vernon, which will transform 24-hour care to the frailest seniors with a nationally renowned approach (see www.greenhousevt.org). Our aim, then, is to thrive and not merely survive. And so, we invite you again to consider a gift to ACRC as part of your year-end giving. Your support at such times as these will be pivotal as we look to maintain programs and facilities for those in our care in Vermont and Maine. Despite the challenges of these days, our belief is that “the best defense is a good offense.” https://www.adventretirement.org/giving/

“When grace is joined with wrinkles…there is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.” - Victor Hugo

What’s in a wrinkle? It depends on who you ask. Our culture sees the lines of aging skin as something to regret, having replaced the smooth vibrancy of a younger face. Cosmetics companies reinforce that regret with every promise and product possible to delay the inevitable.
