Serving Our Seniors Magazine: Jan - March 2023

Your family. Our purpose. Together. 800-625-5269 | steinhospice.org/ Family caregivers consistently tell us, “Now that we have experienced your hospice care, we wish we would have called sooner.” You don’t have to do this alone. We focus on improving quality of life for our patients and their loved ones to ensure that each moment is filled with comfort. Stein Hospice is here 24/7. Call us today. Using Music to Create a Positive Attitude Toward Aging This year, Serving Our Seniors is working with Sandusky High School to close the generation gap between teenagers and retirees. We are doing it through music! The first of its kind (to the best of our knowledge), under the leadership of Mrs. Carrie Leech, Sandusky High School and Serving Our Seniors are bringing together retirees, Ann Marie Muehlhauser, Darlene Walk, Darwitt Garrett and Ken Wood to sing with Sandusky High School’s choir. To celebrate this accomplishment, this singing group will perform an act at Serving Our Seniors Spring Show - the Sonny & Cher Show, Saturday, April 22, 2023 at Sandusky High School. (See page 21) More singers, age 60+ are welcome to join this talented, intergenerational singing group. Contact Nancy Dellasanti, Program Coordinator for Serving Our Seniors at 419-624-1856.
