After visiting Eger Healthcare last week, the miniature therapy horses made their first appearance at ArchCare Senior Life (PACE) Staten Island in five years! Participants and staff were thrilled, enjoying the comfort and joy these gentle horses brought. Lauren Abate, wellness center manager, called it “one of the best programs ArchCare has ever had.” Our participants are grateful for their visit and can't wait to have them back! A big thank you to Horseability and their team of miniature therapy horses and trainers for bringing such joy to our community.

Nursing home residents and families are preparing to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday in the place they call home. As we express gratitude for our dedicated staff who will be celebrating it with them, it is critical we point out that Medicaid funding directly impacts staffing! Governor Kathy Hochul, please provide a 20% increase to Medicaid funding for nursing homes in your Executive Budget Proposal on January 21st! #OlderAdultsMatter”

Today on Veterans Day, we wanted to pause to remember and express our gratitude. As Monsignor LaMorte, Vicar General and Chancellor of the Archdiocese of New York, reminded us: “We should make this day a true remembrance and a time of thanks to all who served to defend our freedom in the armed forces of the United States….” At ArchCare, we honor the veterans among our residents, participants, care members and community for their courage and sacrifice. Your service inspires us and will never be forgotten. Thank you all for your service.

We celebrate this development and look forward to seeing how it strengthens connections and builds engagement across our community.

Last weekend, ArchCare proudly served as the presenting sponsor of the Walk to End Alzheimer's in Dutchess County, NY. The event raised an incredible $221,499 to help advance the Alzheimer's Association's initiatives in care, support, and research. With over 700 people in attendance, we’re so grateful to everyone who walked alongside us, our amazing Team Captains, and our dedicated volunteers who made this event such a success. Your commitment helps bring us closer to a world without Alzheimer's, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished together.
