Caregiving doesn’t arrive neatly—or on our timeline. For Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, it began with a single phone call that changed everything.

As her mother moved from fierce independence into a season of complex medical needs, Bishop Budde found herself navigating hospitals, rehabilitation, housing decisions, and the emotional weight of becoming a care partner—all while balancing her responsibilities as a spiritual leader and family member.

“I have a lot of empathy for families who are entering into care partnering,” she shares.

In our 2025 Impact Report, Bishop Budde reflects on how Seabury Care Management became a steady companion—offering guidance, advocacy, and reassurance when it mattered most.

As our Director of Care Management, Christine Bitzer, shared: “Our goal is to make sure no one has to do this alone.” Bishop Budde's story is one of the more than 150 families we serve each year and is a powerful reminder of why these supports matter.

For many older adults, dependable transportation is the thread that holds everything together—access to fresh food, medical appointments, social activities, and the independence to manage life on their own terms. When that thread breaks, so does their connection to the world around them.

The Seabury Connector was created to prevent that. One Seabury Connector rider put it simply: “They help us with groceries and water… We always feel safe on the bus.” Our senior-focused transportation serves community dining programs, affordable housing communities, churches, and nonprofits across the region, making sure older adults can get where they need to go with ease and dignity.

Our drivers know the people they serve. They offer a steady hand when boarding, help carry groceries and cases of water, and make sure every rider feels seen, respected, and safe. And for riders like those at Edgewood, that support isn’t just convenient—it’s essential.

When an 82-year-old man recovering from a stroke had no immediate family or financial resources, our Care Manager guided him and advocated for quality care. We helped him access rehab, set up necessary legal documents, and ensured his safety at home.

Small but critical actions like these allow older adults to live safely, maintain dignity, and make informed decisions.

When a fire damaged the home of two siblings with intellectual disabilities, it could have meant leaving the only home they’d ever known. Our Care Managers advocated for them, ensuring they could stay safely at home.

This kind of advocacy is often needed in a variety of spaces, including medical settings. On Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at 12pm, we'll host our next Care Management webinar "Managing the Crisis: How to Advocate for Yourself or a Loved One in a Medical Setting," featuring Christine Bitzer, Director of Care Management, and Steve Gurney, in partnership with Positive Aging Community.

Our community dining sites serve 100,000+ free meals annually. But it’s not just about nutrition—these meals are about connection. Older adults meet neighbors, share stories, and enjoy the comfort of community. For many, a meal at Seabury is also a chance to laugh, learn, and feel part of something bigger.

We’re proud to celebrate the completion of our project with support from AARP Livable Communities and AARP DC! 🚐

With this funding, we successfully expanded transportation access—connecting seniors in Wards 7 and 8 to groceries and the Silver Market.

And the impact speaks for itself:

🗣️ “Having this opportunity with the Seabury Connector makes a huge difference in our community.” — Bernice Fontaneau Senior Wellness Center

🗣️ “Outings that Seabury provides are the only way that some of us are able to get out at all.” — J.W. King Senior Center

🗣️ “Your drivers and staff consistently demonstrate professionalism and kindness, always ensuring passengers feel safe, respected, and supported throughout their experience. Accessible transportation is a lifeline in our community.” — Matthews Memorial Baptist Church

We’re grateful to AARP for helping make DC a more livable, connected community for older adults—and proud of the difference this project has made.

A Seabury Connector rider shared how much the shuttle has changed her days: “We get to socialize peacefully with other seniors. We feel very safe riding with Seabury.”

For many older adults, that feeling of connection doesn’t come easily. Social isolation is persistent across the region, and lack of transportation is often what stands between an older adult and the people, activities, and support that keep them engaged.

The Seabury Connector helps bridge that gap—bringing seniors to community meals, social gatherings, wellness programs, and other spaces where they can belong. Senior centers, affordable housing communities, and faith-based groups turn to us because our drivers are trained to support older adults with patience, care, and dignity.

Aging comes with a lot of practical challenges—managing medications, coordinating appointments, completing benefit applications, or navigating a crisis. Everyone's needs are unique to them. Seabury Care Managers help older adults and caregivers handle these moments with calm, expert support.

Families often share how relieved they feel to have someone who listens, follows through, and helps them make a plan that actually works.

Nearly 63 million Americans are family caregivers in 2025—that’s almost one in four adults. Many juggle work, household responsibilities, and caregiving all at once. Caregiving can bring joy—but also stress, exhaustion, and isolation. At Seabury, we connect caregivers to resources, support, and community so no one has to navigate this journey alone.
