From The President
"Our relational covenant to the New England Conference of the United
Methodist Church helps keep us focused on our reason for being; creating an environment of
loving care.
We serve a fragile and marginalized population; 206 of the oldest of the aged.
51
% of residents in the independent living program are 85
to 104 years old! Their
lives are a wonderful gift to us and their care is a joy to be experienced."

From The Director
"United Methodist Elder Care is a small, independent, charitable mission
dedicated to affordable elder housing, supported independent living, quality health
services, and compassionate end of life care.
Myriad external pressures -- changes in Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement, health care
mergers, managed care contracts, pressures to limit care, a competitive industry ethos --
shape the environment we work in.
Will imposed efficiencies and financial pressures take a bite out of our ability to care
for truly needy elders? No, if we continue to receive your support, your charitable
gifts will 'bridge the gap'. You are the reason we can continue on as an elder care
mission. Thank You."
