Halloween isn't just for kids anymore! Just ask our participants at Eddy SeniorCare where ghouls and gobblins galore took over our Latham Day Center and the party spanned TWO days! Our staff transformed the center into a haunted house and greeted participants dressed in the "101 Dalmatians" theme on one day -- complete with a Cruella de Vil and a dog catcher. On day 2, it was freestyle with every costume from a nun, to a sandwich, to glow in the dark home health aides. Our participants waved their glow sticks and danced the days away with live DJ Young Wise. A great time was had by all. Special kudos to our Latham staff for all the work they put in to show our seniors a FUN time! Great job, team! 🎃👻❤

Join Eddy SeniorCare as we wrap our Marketers' Week celebrations. Today, we highlight marketing team members Caitlin St. George (center), marketing supervisor; along with provider relations specialists JoAnn Jakowiw (left) and Jamie Gallup. This dedicated team pounds the pavement every day to raise awareness of the wide range of services that Eddy SeniorCare provides to help seniors remain healthy, independent and living in their own homes and communities.

The trio also proudly represents The Eddy's Community Services Division (which also includes Eddy Visiting Nurse and Rehab Association, and The Community Hospice). Caitlin, who has been with the network for 22 years, says: "I truly believe in what we do! So much of what I do is rewarding -- working with professionals or members of the community and being part of a solution by connecting them to our services. Most meaningful for me is working with our most vulnerable members of the community and being able to provide help or be that lifeline." JoAnn and Jaime agree. "What I enjoy most about my job is representing three programs that truly help people and treat them with dignity," says JoAnn. "I love being able to connect those in need with care, support and services that help them live a better life." Jamie notes the incredible value in being able to "connect with community members and help them access services they may not have known existed." Thank you to our wonderful team for all you do to educate our community and for the countless lives you touch through your exceptional efforts!

She has been with our system for 21 years -- the last 10 as our intake coordinator and senior community liaison. Please join Eddy SeniorCare as we celebrate this Marketers' Week Oct. 6-12 and honor Tammie Santilli. Tammie previously worked in administrative roles but now really enjoys working with the patient population. "Being able to help frail seniors and their families in the community to enroll in Eddy SeniorCare/PACE services so they can stay at home, has by far been the most rewarding position," she says. "The dramatic improvement in quality of life that our dedicated staff makes possible for our participants, and the great relief that brings to their overwhelmed loved ones, is undeniable. I feel lucky to be part of this program and to contribute to its growth!" Thank you, Tammie and team for all you do to keep our participants enjoying life and continuing to live independently!

We are SO proud to report that our PACE team has achieved consistent improvements in our participant outcomes throughout the last 6 years -- with lower emergency visits, lower inpatient admissions, and greater satisfaction, all the while maintaining a high percentage of participants in the community, and delaying or avoiding institutionalization for this vulnerable population that would otherwise qualify for nursing home placement. Eddy SeniorCare features an interdisciplinary team that provides comprehensive coordinated medical and specialty care services to help keep seniors independent in their own homes and communities where they prefer. Learn how Eddy SeniorCare may be able to help you or a senior you love! We offer locations in Rotterdam and Latham. For more information, please call 518-382-3290 or 518-213-7526.

You might say the senior participants at our Eddy SeniorCare center in Latham "stepped up" to the challenge! A BIG congratulations to our group of 28 seniors there who just completed their first Summer Walk Club, collectively walking a total of 112 miles between Memorial Day and Labor Day! Our first place finisher tackled 12.8 miles, with our second place finisher close behind at 12.2 miles, and the third place finishers tied with two walkers each completing 10 miles! We are so proud of all our participants who stepped up to better health. Congratulations also to the Rehab Team and staff in Latham who all helped make this possible by walking with our participants. Looking forward to the next challenge in the fall season and taking in the sights of the beautiful foliage during our walks! Way to go, everyone! ❤
