I recently learned of the potential closure of the adult day care program that is offered at the Santa Clarita Senior Center. The article stated that due to the current financial situation in California, programs that are related to seniors will most surely be cut. As Executive Director at Summerhill Villa, an independent and assisting living community in the Santa Clarita Valley, seniors have a special place in my heart, the staff at Summerhill and everyone was saddened to hear that the senior center services were going to be affected in such a negative way. What could be done? How could they help?
Summerhill recently underwent a re-model where all of the existing furniture and artwork was replaced with brand new beautiful décor. The old furniture and artwork was offered to the staff at an auction. The wonderful staff at Summerhill decided that all of the money raised would be donated directly to the Santa Clarita Senior Center. Through this fun event, not only did the staff get to purchase some beautiful pieces, they raised $1,000 for the seniors of the Santa Clarita Valley!
The coordinated efforts of the Summerhill staff provided much-needed support to the Senior Center and is a further testament to the dedicated and giving nature of the Summerhill team. It is wonderful to know that the Summerhill Villa tradition of excellence lives on.
