The holidays are here! For many families, this holiday season will be the first they’ve celebrated together in two years. Spending time with aging parents or loved ones? It’s the perfect opportunity to get a picture of their health and well-being – and identify any dementia warning signs.
Family caregivers offer loved ones a helping hand whenever support is needed. They spend their days selflessly serving, all while asking for nothing in return. However, if they begin to deal with caregiver burnout, it may be time to care for themselves.
On the weekend of April 11-14, 2014, the Saunders House name was up in lights at the PECO Tower in Philadelphia. To mark the 150th anniversary of Saunders House, the Crown Lights program featured the Saunders House message for three nights. The message appeared as: "Saunders House: Celebrating 150 Years of Aging With Grace, www.saundershouse.org."
Saunders House is pleased to announce that, effective May 2, 2014, Dr. Firas Saidi was appointed the Medical Director of Saunders House, and Dr. Charles Breish was appointed the Associate Medical Director. Dr. Saidi succeeds Dr.Bruce Silver who served Saunders House as Medical Director for over 36 years.
