Gratitude

November is the month we are reminded how much Gratitude plays a role in our lives.  We are thankful for one another, for our health, for our caregivers, for so many things.

Mary Wade is grateful for you, our residents, families and friends, our staff and our strategic partners.  We are family and together we help to make a difference.  Please remember us during your holiday shopping season. Thank you for all you do.

Tips to Protect Yourself and Senior Loved One from this Weekend's Heat

At Mary Wade, we help our seniors fend off heat-related illnesses in a variety of ways. Of course, we provide cool water for them to drink and a comfortable environment for them to relax. We also monitor our residents to ensure they don’t overexert themselves and we limit their outdoor activity on hot days. 

If you have an elderly family member, make sure to visit them and look for signs of heat stress. Don’t let heat stress become a problem. Make an appointment with one of our healthcare clinicians to discuss heat stress prevention and medical factors that could pose a problem in the summer. Contact Mary Wade at 203-562-7222. 

Mary Wade is seeking a driver for its transportation program to bring seniors to and from physician offices.  Applicants must have senior transportation experience and a Public Passenger Endorsement.   Contact Lisa Gangemi at 203.562.7222 or lgangemi@marywade.org.
