Right at Home Care Memory Walkers in Andover October 4

Howard Aronson,one of our employees is walking the Memory Walk for the Alzheimer's Association on October 4th in Andover. I cannot walk that day with the Right at Home walkers, but I am going to donate. Lynne Nieman will be manning the Right at Home table, so say "hi" if you are up there.

Please walk if you can, if not, please consider donating in the name of a loved one. I have never met anyone who does not know someone (and usually someone close) with Alzheimer's Disease. It makes no sense to have our bodies grow so old, just to have our minds lose their memory. Help fund a cure...Memory Walks are happening all over the country!

Please click this LINK to donate to the Right at Home Walkers or find out more about the walk. Thanks for your consideration.

Fun Night- Eurostoves

NO, Francine and Lynne did not have to go get a rooster for our Night in Provence cooking class, but I just saw that picture and I thought it would be funny. Right at Home and our terrific referral sources had a great night of cooking, eating and drinking at Eurostoves last week.

Phyllis from the Atrium baked dessert with her colleague Ruth and Sharyn Russell.

Below we see the crew from New England Rehab and Stephen Spano and Lynne Nieman from Right at Home. Stephen chose to spend his time entertaining the hard working cooks!

Ho-Ho-HO from Right at Home

Lynne Nieman, Joanna Pena and Lisa Furtado wish you a wonderful Holiday Season

Memory Walk is THIS SUNDAY!

We are on THE MOVE!

The Memory Walk is the number one fund raiser for the Alzheimer's Association. This year, we merged two walks and our area will be walking at Brickstone Square in Andover. Lynne Nieman will be there with the Right at Home booth giving out information about Alzheimer's home care! Drop on by to visit her...

Please support us in our fight against time! Today we all know someone with Alzheimer's. As America ages, we will all have a frightening number of friends and loved ones that have this disease. Remember, Alzheimer's can run it's course over a 20 year period. With the baby boomer generation aging, what will the number of Alzheimer's people in US? Tick ....tock

Right at Home News- February 27th

I was waylaid in Florida because of last Fridays snowstorm, with my little kids and had to spend 3 extra days in the sunshine.....too bad for me! The Right at Home management staff and care staff did an outstanding job of manning the ship while I was away.

I always think about our local elders in these snowstorms. Our clients have Right at Home caregivers to help them get around or to do errands for them. Other elders in our community just get stuck at home, or make unsafe attempts to shovel or walk our uneven sidewalks (Marblehead, where I live can be especially treacherous for winter walking). If you have an elderly neighbor, please stop over to see if there is anything that you can do for them. Even if it is picking up milk when you are out, it can mean the difference in that person's day.

Other news at Right at Home finds Lynne Nieman, our Community Relations Liaison, being brought down temporarily with a medical condition. We miss Lynne here at the office and we hope to see her back meeting our clients and their families very soon.

New Developments at Right at Home

We have added a new key staff member here at Right at Home. Meet Lynne Nieman our new Community Relations Coordinator. Lynne joins us after 12 years of medical administration. She also is a Reiki Practioner that has been doing demonstrations for elders at different long term care facilities.

She was attracted by Right at Home because she has always felt great compassion for Alzheimer's patients and wanted to help the cause of finding a cure. Last year she started selling the Alzheimer's Bracelet with a portion of the proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association. All of our female employees are now wearing the bracelet proudly! It is beautiful! Email Lynne if you want to find out more about the bracelet at lnieman@rightathomemass.com.

Lynne has a great sense of humor and will be out in the community educating people about Right at Home and how we can help people stay independent and safe at home.


OCT 1- Lynne's story was picked up in the Marblehead and Swampscott Reporter!! Her picture looked great!
