Clancy Dokmo recently joined us on a tour of our newly remodeled break room in the Care Center. After Clancy’s mother Dorothy was a resident in the Pathway’s area, he and his sister, Jane Landsuerk, wanted to give back to the employees who cared for their mother. They chose to have the employee break room updated which included new flooring, furniture and fresh paint on the walls. Wall colors were voted on by employees. Thank you Clancy and Jane for your generosity.

Are you noticing the factors that are affecting your communications, not the least of which could be your elderly loved one(s) memory lapse along with their hearing loss?
