From then to now… 💛

Long before The Arbors & The Ivy and Integra Home Health...there were three little girls, sitting on a blanket, drinking Yoo-hoos and dreaming about the future.

Back then, they could have never imagined what life would look like today—
running multiple businesses together, supporting thousands of families, and building something that truly makes a difference.

Fast forward to today, and they recreated this moment...a reminder that the heart behind everything we do has been there since the very beginning.

Because this was never just about building a business. It was about building something meaningful, together.

Let our family take care of yours.

Caring for an aging parent isn’t always easy and it’s okay to admit that. When roles begin to shift, emotions can run high on both sides. What looks like “difficult behavior” is often rooted in fear, loss of independence, or uncertainty. Approach with patience. Lead with empathy. And don’t forget—you deserve support too.

We are so grateful to receive messages like this it truly means the world to our team! Hearing how our residents and families feel supported, cared for, and at home is exactly why we do what we do every day.

If you or your family member has had a positive experience, we would love for you to share it. Your words help other families feel confident as they begin their own journey.

Dementia vs. Alzheimer’s… what’s the difference—and why does it matter? It’s one of the most common (and important) questions families face when navigating memory changes in a loved one.

We recently joined Mass Appeal to help bring clarity to this conversation.

Our Regional Director of Resident Care, Ed Walters-Zucco, sat down with Priscilla Ress to break down:
• What dementia really is
• How Alzheimer’s fits into the picture
• Why specialized memory care can make all the difference

Because when you understand the journey, you’re better prepared to support it—with confidence, compassion, and the right resources.

Behind every decision, every moment of care, and every family we support — there are women leading with heart. This Women’s History Month, we honor the women behind The Arbors & The Ivy and Integra Home Health.

Together, they’ve built something more than services. They’ve built a network of support for families navigating one of life’s most important journeys.

Because when care is connected, families feel it. And when women lead with compassion, everything changes.

Some bonds are simply unbreakable.

These two sisters Jean and Joan who are twins have spent a lifetime side by side. And today, they continue that journey together at The Arbors.

In a season of life that can feel uncertain, they’ve found comfort in something so powerful, each other.

Sharing meals, laughter, memories… and the quiet moments in between.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate not only the strength of women —
but the lifelong connections that carry us through.

Because here, it’s more than care. It’s family taking care of family.

The first day of spring is here, and with it comes a season we always look forward to.

Longer days, fresh air, and the return of some of our favorite moments — residents back out in the courtyard planting flowers, gathering around the fire pits, and enjoying the simple joy of being together outside.

At The Arbors & The Ivy, these are the moments that matter most. And we can’t wait to welcome spring with our residents.

Strong women don’t just lead businesses — they lead with heart.

Sara and Emily have built more than organizations…
They’ve built a community rooted in compassion, trust, and connection.

Every interaction, every conversation, every moment with a resident reflects something deeper —
family taking care of family.

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the women who are redefining what care looks like — not just through leadership, but through love.

Because here, it’s never just care.
It’s personal.
