Meet Betty: Finding Purpose Through Service [VIDEO]

Posted by The Goodman Group on May 17, 2017

When Betty's husband was diagnosed with dementia, they made the decision to receive additional support at a nearby senior living community.

“This is home,” Betty said. “We moved in 2006 so this is the only home we’ve had [since then], and I am very content. I was able to continue for a number of years working at the bank knowing he was happy here.”

Betty is able to focus on the things that bring her renewed purpose because day-to-day chores are handled by caregivers. “I enjoy having my meals prepared for me. I don’t have to do dishes or buy groceries, I’m just happy. I count my blessings everyday that this is my home,” said Betty.
