Nana, papa, grammie, grandpa - whatever nickname fits you - today we honor all the grandparents out there who've taken the time to love, teach, nurture and spoil their grandchildren. (pictured ESLC resident Mary Empey with her grandchildren on her 95th birthday).

As we consider this issue, consider joining us for this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s tomorrow, Saturday, October 10.

To join Team ESLC, visit http://act.alz.org/goto/TeamESLC If you are unable to walk, consider making a donation to our team.
Together, we are stronger and will make a difference!

Today, we have a very special Meet the Staff Monday. We would like to introduce Deanna Flaitz, who has been the Executive Director at Pinehurst in Honeoye Falls since 1999.
Deanna was recently awarded the Loren J. Ranaletta Award of Honor during our annual Recognition Week. The award is given to somebody who demonstrates the same visionary leadership of ESLC President and CEO, Loren Ranaletta, and Deanna has done nothing short of that in the last year. She has stepped in as a server in the dining room, a housekeeper for residents apartments, and a receptionist at the front desk. Deanna is a servant leader who wouldn't ask her employees to do anything that she wouldn't be willing to do herself and she has inspired them all to work harder, and care for their residents more deeply.
Congratulations to Deanna, we are all happy to know you and to call you our friend.
Pardon our dust...we are too excited about how far along our apartments are coming to not provide an inside look! For questions about Episcopal SeniorLife Communities newest Assisted Living and Memory Care, Ashley Woods at Penfield Square, please call Paula Sachman at 546-8439 x5220, or email psachman@episcopalseniorlife.org. Complete an application today to reserve an apartment for our May opening!
