Grandparents Day will be observed on Sunday, Sept. 8 with a block party. Also, the quartet group, "For The Master" will be entertaining.
The number of elderly and disabled citizens in our country is growing dramatically, affecting all citizens through the rising demand for quality long-term health care services.
Assisted living is a long-term care service that fosters independence and autonomy in the elderly community nation-wide.
