At some point during our lives, each of us has someone who inspires or changes us for the better, and often for life. Our Living Legacies Tribute Program provides you with a unique opportunity to give to others, while simultaneously honoring the life of a friend or loved one.

Tributes provide an opportunity to:
• Memorialize a life well lived
• Celebrate a birthday or anniversary
• Say "thank you" to a friend or family member
• Recognize the good deeds of a friend or associate
• Mark a special occasion

When you choose to establish a tribute or memorial through PMMA, you will select exactly how your gifts will be utilized to sustain our mission.

We recently hosted (PAC™) training, “Positive Approach to Care®, the Teepa Snow Method.

(PAC™) is a unique method in dementia care that helps our teams better understand dementia, reduce behaviors, and create meaningful moments with our residents.

The Positive Physical Approach™ is a method used to effectively interact with individuals living with dementia, by focusing on their retained abilities and preferences. It emphasizes creating a positive and supportive environment through mindful communication and physical interaction. PPA™ is approaching someone from the front and getting into a supportive stance vs a confrontational, to have better interaction. Our staff learn the Hand-under-Hand® technique. The technique is to offer your hand, palm up, to guide them. This allows the other person to give permission to engage.

We want to thank our staff for their dedication and focus during this training and appreciate their desire to be more effective in caring for those loved ones that face these challenges every day.

As Christmas memories still warm our heart, thank you for making these moments possible for PMMA residents.

This year’s Angel Tree campaign set a new PMMA record. YOU raised more than $130,000 for the Good Samaritan Program and we are beyond grateful!

With your gift, YOU have ensured, an approximate, 390 residents in need will always have a home at a PMMA community. Thank you!

It’s never too late to make a difference. PMMA residents are in need every day of the year – not just during the holidays. Recurring monthly gifts are easy with your credit card. Every gift to the Good Samaritan Program provides financial assistance to residents who have outlived their resources through no fault of their own.

To set up a monthly gift today, visit: https://hubs.ly/Q042n_NS0.
