Giving voice to the topics that mean the most to those who matter the most.
You know in your heart when it's time to talk to your aging loved one about living in a retirement community. But how do you begin such an important, complicated conversation? Is there some way to keep the discussion upbeat and optimistic so your loved one is actually looking forward to living in a retirement community? Also, how do you determine whether a retirement community will fully address your loved one's needs and expectations?

If we are to believe the political and social pundits of our day, we live in a time that is often described as angry. There is anger at elected officials that do not pay attention to the desires of their constituents; anger at those who disagree with us on the solutions to the problems of our day; anger at those who are intolerant toward those who share our views; anger at the growing disparity of income and wealth in our society; anger at the political correctness that restricts open dialogue on areas of disagreement; anger at those who express their anger by exhibiting disruptive behavior; anger at those who encourage aggressive behavior toward those with whom they disagree; anger at anyone who seems willing to compromise on important principles rather than stand up for what they believe; and anger at the gridlock that is the byproduct of opposing forces that are unwilling to compromise. The list could go on and on.

The Falling Springs, Letort, Yellow Breeches, and the Big Spring streams are just a few of the many famous trout streams in South Central PA that are within reach of Green Ridge Village in Newville, PA. When you add the numerous wild brook trout and stocked trout streams the area has to offer, you have miles of trout streams within close proximity of each other. Resident anglers of the Green Ridge Village community, like Bob and Joe, have the Big Spring stream literally right in their back yard.

At Presbyterian Senior Living, we feel strongly that senior communities should use proactive and personalized approaches to provide the best possible care to their residents. A visit by a U.S. senator recently highlighted the commitment of one of our communities, Westminster Village in Dover, to reducing unnecessary prescriptions of antipsychotic drugs and enhancing the quality of life for seniors.

Every spring we hold recognition events for Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) volunteers and auxiliary members to express our appreciation for all that they do to make PSL communities a special place to live and work. Volunteers come to us from a variety of sources. They include residents from our independent living, personal care, or skilled nursing center – where the idea of neighbors helping neighbors is clearly expressed.

Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that causes tremors, balance problems and changes to gait and speech. About 1.5 million Americans currently suffer from the disease, and some 60,000 new cases are diagnosed every year. The condition most often strikes seniors, affecting about 18 out of every 1,000 people over age 65.
