Happy Anniversary, Paradise Village

Paradise Village recently celebrated it’s one-year anniversary of service to seniors, their families, and the community.  We’re delighted with the year that was and our many accomplishments.  In fact, Union Tribune readers voted Paradise Village as one of the top three retirement communities in San Diego!  Wow!  Within one year, we’re already known as a premier provider of senior residences and assisted living services.

“I could not be more pleased with the excellent work we’ve done this year!” exclaimed Norm Smith, Executive Director.  “It’s a thrill work with a team of such talented and caring people, who are truly dedicated to service!”

The upcoming year proves to be an even more exciting year for our campus.  With new residents arriving each week, additional life enrichment activities, wellness opportunities, and, of course, the world-class dining, Paradise Village is set to exceed all of our customers’ expectations.

Happy Anniversary, Paradise Village!  Here’s to your next year of five-star service to seniors!

The Real 'Heroes': Sandwich Generation Caregivers

A 2008 poll revealed that more than 20 million Americans are caring for their aging parents, as well as for their own children. The role of double-duty caregiver among the “sandwich generation” has attracted attention recently as it becomes more apparent that many families are struggling to make ends meet.

In light of this, events take place throughout the United States  commemorating National Sandwich Generation Month during July. These events and the organizations behind them seek to heighten understanding of the unique needs of the Sandwich Generation and foster supportive communities. The month also raises awareness for the various support services available to caregivers.

Take time this month to learn about strategies available to the Sandwich Generation, such as incorporating activities with children and senior parents to bring family together. It is important for these super caregivers to get help for as many tasks as possible and stay flexible.
