Keeping in Touch with Participants

Keeping in Touch with Participants

Participants are unable to come to The Community Family right now, so we took TCF to their homes. To a small degree, anyhow. Everett center Activity Director Merrill put goody bags together that were then dropped off by van driver Mike. Colored pencils and a summertime booklet to color were featured items in the bags, as it is a favorite activity of so many participants. What a great way of staying in touch with participants, keeping them occupied while at home and letting them know we’re thinking of them!

The Community Family, Inc.

The Community Family (TCF) was founded in Everett, MA in 1978 with a $20,000 grant and borrowed space. It was founded by a group of local families and professionals who were concerned about the few community options available at that time. The Everett center was one of Massachusetts’ first adult day health centers and quickly demonstrated the effectiveness and affordability of community-based long term care services – a novel approach at the time.
